OK, I have to ask -- Why yet another wxPython-based Text editor?

There is PyPE, SPE, UliPad, Peppy, DrPython, .....

It would really be nice to unify these efforts more. In particular, 
Peppy seems to be very similar in intent, as does UliPad (plug-in 
based). So what does Pallavi have that the others don't, except that it 
happens to be one person's pet project (nothing wrong with a pet project 
-- I'm just curious)

That being said, from your web page, I like its design philosophy. In 
particular the goal of being general purpose, not just for Python coding 
-- I'm still waiting for ONE editor that I can use for everything, run 
on Windows, Linux and OS-X, and customize a bit , ideally without 
(re)learning LISP.

I'll give Pallavi a try on OS-X when I get a chance.

One question -- can you open files in different Frames -- that's key for 
me, I have no idea how people can be productive without being able to 
see files side-by-side!
