Yes, that's me.  I'm on the list in digest mode.  So I don't catch
every conversation.

I did contribute this Python parser to Codemirror a while ago.  It is
ok for most things.  I haven't brought it up because I'm still trying
to work through some annoyances.  Maybe this is my perfectionism
speaking.  After all, Skulpt is already using it.

I don't like how it handles indentation (note the section on strict
errors).  It should not error there but I made it error to work around
an implementation difficulty.  Also it barely handles context like the
CodeMirror Javascript parser does fully.  I've began redoing the
parser properly but I always hit an infinite loop that I can't find.
So I've kinda given up on it for now.  Every few weeks I take another
look at it and get frustrated by that same stinking infinite loop.

Aside from that...I have used Codemirror Python to edit quite a few
Python files and it doesn't suffer from the ghosting and other
weirdness that EditArea has.  I do miss code folding that I have in a
native editor, but one thing at a time.  Is Amy Editor still massively
slow?  Does it lose highlighting sync like EditArea?  I haven't used
it much.

I've kinda been holding out for Bespin.  So far Bespin is supposed to
migrate to a style of syntax highlighter that codemirror uses, but I'm
not sure if that ever happened.  If they want it to be successful, it
will be a necessity in my eyes.

If you want to put it in the admin, I have no problems.  It might be
good to get some more eyes on it since I don't know how widely it is
used.
