My current python "IDE"

The script below is one that I'm currently using to quickly setup my python coding environment.

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
os.popen4('gnome-terminal -e python --working-directory ~/scripts/python -t PYTHON')
os.popen4('gnome-terminal --working-directory ~/scripts/python')
os.popen4('xterm -e "cd scripts/python && /bin/bash"')
os.popen4('firefox http://docs.python.org/ http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html')

You may be asking yourself why I'm opening 3 terminals. I personally like having lots of text in front of me at once so I can focus on reading/thinking and not using the mouse (or the keyboard).

Xterm is there because it is really really fast. Gnome-terminal is there due to it's superior copy/paste support (I grew up on Windows, sue me).
