My recommendation is, to only edit code in emacs. I execute
it in an xterm. C-c C-g is mapped to goto-line. I prefere to
jump to the position of an error in the code myself.

Yes, been using it for years now. Very nice, but has its quirks, the
most annoying being perhaps that triple quoted strings are not
supported. Well in trivial cases it looks like they are supported
because "" is treated as one string and then the final " is the
beginning of a new string and then " is the end and then "" is an
empty string again.

Although it is possible to work around this limitation.
It may be worthwile to use a newer version.
