The problem (in my experience) is that you can either teach python or 
you can teach vi. Trying to teach both at the same time is probably 
impractical, unless you have an unusually gifted and technologically 
clueful group of high school kids.

Having said that, when I use a Mac or Windows, I use the same editor I 
use on Linux/BSD/Solaris: vi (whatever variant is installed, though I 
will agree that vim is particularly nice)
