Of course these capabilities (and many many more) are available with Emacs.
I personally recommend that you learn one (or both) of these editors.
They will highly improve the speed at which you are able to edit your code.
Unfortunately vim isn't available by default on MAcOS - at least not the
last time I looked. They had elvis installed as a "vi".
But Emacs is there in console mode, I think you need to install X to get
it in GUI mode - in which case you might as well install Emacs for Aqua...
But I haven't used the most recent OS X releases (post Tiger)
(I'm still on a G3 iBook!) so the tool selection may have changed.
Netbeans is another option that works on a Mac. There is
a plugin for Python. From memory this includes an interpreter
window.
Finally, I can also add that the native MacOS developer tools,
including XCode work with Python, but it doesn't include an
integrated interpreter. You need to install/configure XCode
to work with Python, visit the Mac Python pages for details.
