The current finalists: Editra with PyShell in Shelf
Pros: Syntax highlighting, tabs, ¿portable? and embedded python interpreter (PyShell 0.8) Cons: No run button or keyboard shortcut for quick running of script (made issue: http://code.google.com/p/editra/issues/detail?id=641) and doesn't save settings changes for editor PyScripter Pros: Syntax highlighting, tabs, ¿portable?, embedded python interpreter, keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+F9 [though would prefer single key...]) and run button Cons: Unmaintained, so doesn't support x64 and has a few bugs UliPad Pros: Syntax highlighting, tabs, ¿portable?, embedded python interpreter, keyboard shortcut (F5) and run button Cons: Command-prompt window appears whenever script is run (could be admin issues at Uni) and is unmaintained, so can expect bugs and non-modern interfaces for length of use Please continue suggesting Python IDEs and/or fixes for the above Cons.
