Sort of. Modern editors generally have support for building and running
your program directly from a toolbar button or textual command. I
personally use Vim with the toolbar disabled, running in a Terminal, and
run the program by first putting Vim in the background (^z).
People writing code specific to Mac, but not necessarily all in Python,
often use XCode.

In the Ruby community, Vim is the dominant choice, but a lot of Mac
users swear by TextMate.

I believe Grant was suggesting that Emacs often serves a similar purpose
on Unix to what Visual Studio does on Windows, which seemed to be what
you were asking. When asking about Mac OS X here, you are likely to get
a lot of generic Unix responses. (Would it have been clearer if he had
just said "emacs?")
