Try it out and see! You can get it from http://www.editra.org if you  
don't want to get it from the latest wxPython pre-release.

Anyway, I can't speak for Cody regarding Editra so I hope he'll  
correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding of the project I  
don't think Editra currently aims to be a Python-based emacs  
replacement, or at least not one that can do all the things Robin  
needs to ween him off the "old" emacs. ;-) From what I understand,  
Emacs is as much a framework to write text editors in as it is a text  
editor, so IMHO it probably makes sense to have a project focused just  
on replicating those capabilities in wxPython. Editra and Peppy  
actually do share code, too, so I don't feel it's really a 're-invent  
the wheel' scenario here. Just making two different wheels for two  
different target groups.

Thanks,

Kevin
