And switched to SciTE, finding that with good SciTEglobal.properties and python.properties settings it is actually a better environment for Python work than Textpad. One can also do a python.api file to add word completion and call-tips to SciTE. I've gotten fairly deeply into it, as I will be distributing a version of SciTE with PyGeo - even messing a bit with the C++ code. Anything I can do to help you get comfortable with SciTE and Python, please let me know.
