what stand-alone python-aware open-source editors are around? by stand-alone i mean not a part of any development kit or package. by python-aware i mean that can recognize where it is in python code and provide specific indentation options and maybe even quick keyword entry. it would be great if it were in python but any other common open source language is OK (or in a language it can interpret) including compiled languages i can build it from.

Have you had a look at
Sublime Text
I started using that a few weeks ago. It's not perfect, but it is worth a look.

I used Kate some years ago, but when I changed my Linux Distro, I could no longer use it :(
There's a 'Flatpak' install, but that's hopeless. I never got around to trying to build Kate from source (something that I've never done).
My Distro is now at EOL, so maybe I'll have a go at a build as I loved using Kate.

Ah... I used the Software Manager, so maybe that's where I went wrong.
Thank you @
Larz60+
The only other difference that could be a factor, is that I'm not using a KDE DTE, and 'Kate' is for (so far as I understand) KDEs
