Getting SPE (Stani's Python Editor) to work and into Universe would be a
good first step. I imagine this will happen when wxPython 2.5.3 is fixed
so that it links to wxGtk 2.5... Now, when I try to start the latest SPE
I get 


ville at ubuntu ~ $ spe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/spe", line 3, in ?
    import _spe.SPE
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_spe/__init__.py", line 7, in ?
    import info
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_spe/info.py", line 84, in ?

in ?
    import wxc
ImportError: libwx_gtk-2.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

I intentionally removed wxGtk2.4 packages because SPE really needs wxGtk
2.5.

As far as Python IDE in general goes - writing a new one would probably
go to waste, it's better to stick with one of the IDEs we have already
and perhaps put some effort behind pydev (the Eclipse plugin). Eclipse
is the future anyway :-).
