[nfbcs] python editor

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Thanks a lot for the tips, steve; I'll check out ultra edit. I've used
eclipse before, and it sort of works, but it's not really pretty... And
if I'm going to use something clunky I might as well just stick with
edsharp. Thanks again and I'll report back with any research.
