You can satisfy such wonderings with a search for the answers to such
questions, which is how I got these answers.

That's not very clear. If you mean, run the entire file being edited:
yes, Vim and Emacs can do that.

I don't use such a feature, because I almost never want to run the
*entire* module; I want to test the one function I'm working on at that
moment. For that purpose, a unit test is more appropriate.

Vim and Emacs also have the feature to run a Python unit test suite with
a single key and navigate the output.

Yes, any decent programmer's editor will have this, once it is taught
how to parse the error output from the language interpreter.

For Vim and Emacs, yes, they already know how to capture error output
and interactively jump to the referenced locations in the code.

They also both have interactive debugger modes, including for Python.

This is an essential feature of any decent programming editor, and Vim
and Emacs certainly have the feature to grep a file tree and navigate
the results interactively.
