I am interested in doing a programming project using Python with a friend of mine, but it's a bit troublesome for us to meet regularly. He has Mac OS X, and I use Windows XP Pro. A program for the Mac, called SubEthaEdit has a feature where multiple people can edit 1 file in real time together. There are a few others i found on wikipedia here, but they don't seem to really work well between windows and mac os x. does anyone know of real time text editor that works well between the two OS's?

A shared screen session. You can even split your view vertically so that each person has their own window, but can switch to others at will.

The great thing about screen is that you get a shared terminal, which you can use to edit files, run other programs, etc..
