I'm not trying to make peppy into a full blown IDE, but there are IDE-like features that would be nice to have like the ability to jump to the definition of a class, autocompletion, code snippets, and integration with a debugger.

I found some links that describe the functionality in other editors:

• Python with a Modular IDE VIM
• Emacs as a Powerful Python IDE
• Rope refactoring library
• Summary of autocompletion features in competing editors

Editra has some source code control interfaces that I'm borrowing. Currently in project pane, the status of the source code can be viewed, but not I have not implemented any checkin/checkout or diff features that are available in Editra.
