With little knowledge of python you can make your own Text Editor . Follow this tutorial  @http://www.binpress.com/tutorial/building-a-text-editor-with-pyqt-part-one/143 . It involves only the script part. In addition: GUI: For Gui creation I would recommend @https://glade.gnome.org/  . Its very user friendly and free too .Glade will create XML file for your text editor. Fonts : Pango can be used. It looks really pretty. Compiler : Compiler inclusion can be done using subprocess package available in python.
