    If you're looking for a module to incorporate in your program, rather than an external program, one possibility is Scintilla.

    Personally, as a Unix kind of guy, I don't like programs that try to make me use their editor, which is never as powerful as my editor (emacs if possible, otherwise vi). I suggest using an external editor, possibly based on a EDITOR environment variable.

    As Occam said: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
