Request for simple a customisable Python editor

Hi,

SciTE, which is based on Scintilla is very nice. I settled down with it 
after 3+months of trying around. I tried emacs and VI at first, but the 
customization in emacs was confusing (to me) and some of vi's behavior 
isn't what I used to (in Win32), and it lacks code foding.
