Perhaps these editors detach from the controlling process. Are you
running the editor on Windows or Unix? They need to be configured so
that they do not detach if possible for Ext. Editor to manage them.

Hmmm, I'm not sure how mod_python solves editing problems. If you're
talking about source code, Zope supports filesystem python code which is
in fact much more powerful than the through-the-web variety.
