I was taking a peek at c.l.py to check for replies in another thread and couldn't help notice your asking about editors. Please pardon the personal pimping, but have you looked at PyPE (pype.sf.net)? It doesn't do everything, isn't geared towards every language, but as far as I know, it is fairly cross-platform (there seems to be an outstanding bug on ubuntu 6.06, but I need to get an installation to check it out), and can offer a fairly no-frills interface for writing software. The next release will include support for working from a removable device (I plan on releasing before the end of the month), but may not have an ubuntu fix (I may not have time to get one running). - Josiah -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
