ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I want an editor for Python that has only contextual highlighting and maybe code completion. I don't want tabs or extensions. Heck, I could do without a menu bar. Aside from those two things, I want it as simple as possible.
Vim would be difficult to beat. Although it is more full featured, you get basic text editing, syntax highlighting and auto-completion out of the box and if that is all you want to use other features generally do not intrrude on your work, as if they were not there.
I have to ask the question. Why the requirements of as minimal as possible? If you don't want to use a given feature you aren't required to use it. Simple as that... You limit yourself immensely with requirements like this.
Just because a program has 100 features doesn't mean you have to make use of more than 1 or 2.

Ok that is an actual reason. Not that I judge anyone for their reasons but it usually turns into something I can't understand and frustrates me. Well played.
