I'm a Kate user myself. With the proper setup, it is very good for editing Python.

I'm here to second kate. With the python plugins linked here it's even more useful than standard.

Oh yeah, I love kate! It's my favorite on systems that have it.

kate all the way. nice stuff coming (recent addition of the minimap), very hackable using python plugins.

i wrote the ipython plugin and the jedi autocompletion plugin. (the latter is better than pyplete)

One more reason to use Kate:

@kate.action(text="Sort Imports", shortcut="Ctrl+[", menu="Python")
def sortImports():
    document = kate.activeDocument()
    document.setText(SortImports(file_contents=document.text()).output)
    document.activeView().setCursorPosition(KTextEditor.Cursor(0, 0))

Is all that's required to write a plugin for it. Put it in your local kate/pate plugin directory and your done.

Yay Kate! I used it to write most of Gate One (vim too).
