Two options that I've used:
 - use buckwalter for everything
 - find a half-decent text editor that has proper unicode support and
just use that (on Linux/Gnome, gedit is fine; not sure about the
Windows options). Note that for Python to properly support UTF-8 in
the .py file, you need to specify it or use the appropriate BOM
(http://docs.python.org/tutorial/interpreter.html#source-code-encoding).
