Emacs can run Python in a buffer, and has “tabbar-mode” to display a row
of tabs <URL:http://amitp.blogspot.com/2007/04/emacs-buffer-tabs.html>.

Both Emacs and Vim support selecting with the mouse just fine.

Learn a standard mature portable free-software editor – either Emacs or
Vim – and thereby never be without a powerful programming environment
again throughout your career.
