[PyKDE] Editor survey

[Eron Lloyd]

Speaking of Kate I was just messing around with the version included in KDE 
3.1b4, and it's coming along quite well. In fact, I even noticed the 
beginning of a Python source browser! You can use it to list functions and 
classes (and I think global variables) so far.

Cheers,

Eron
