My current preference is SciTE, available on Linux and Windows both.
It's configured using Lua, has lexers (and thus syntax highlighters
and auto-indenters) for a huge list of languages (including Python, or
I wouldn't mention it), and isn't RAM-hungry. It's not bug-free (but
what isn't), and has a few limitations (eg it only really supports
UTF-8), but I've found it excellent as both text editor and
pseudo-IDE.
