As a citizen of Emacs i'm obligated by ancient unwritten laws to recommend it
to bypassers. :)

Emacs has several facilities to make Python programming sessions moments of
sheer joy:

* Python Mode - Syntax highlighting, interactive python shell, sexpr
evaluation and commenting.
http://www.python.org/emacs/python-mode/
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PythonMode

* Emacs Code Browser - Fancy class browsing, navigation, history, etc
http://ecb.sourceforge.net/

* Dynamic Abbrevation - Tab-complete anything, intelligently
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/DynamicAbbreviations

* gud.el - The grand unified debugger, included in Emacs. Supports pdb
(Python debugger).

* pdb-mode - Another pdb interface
http://stein.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/~charlie/scripts/pdb-mode.html

* psvn - Integrate Subversion into Emacs' VC version control interface.
http://xsteve.nit.at/prg/emacs/psvn.el

* Many nifty tricks to improve your day

ok, that was definitely the wrong pdb-mode. Proteins aren't bugs.

There used to be a pdb.el that was pdb-mode back in 1997, but the support in
gud.el has since taken over its role completely.

Cool - I didn't know, that you also use emacs.

I am the author of psvn.el (Subversion interface for emacs) and
xtla.el (gnu arch interface for emacs)

I am just a lurker on the trac list.
I didn't use trac until now, but I think the concepts are fine.

What about an emacs interface for trac?
I think, such a thing would be really really cool.

I don't know much about the internals of trac. Is such an integration
possible from trac. What we would need here is the possiblity to run
all trac commands from a command shell.

LOL :) Yeah, I used to Emacs exclusively, but after years of
NetBeans/Intellij/Eclipse I've sort of gotten used to the GUI way of
doing things. That's a good link collection, though, so maybe I'll give
some of those extensions a try.
