zim uses python... 
I also added some of the latest features to the long description.

==========

Long Description: Zim is a WYSIWYG text editor written in Gtk2-Perl which aims to bring the concept of a wiki to your desktop. Every page is saved as a text file with wiki markup. Pages can contain links to other pages, and are saved automatically. Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a non-existing page. Pages are ordered in a hierarchical structure that gives it the look and feel of an outliner. This tool is intended to keep track of TODO lists or to serve as a personal scratch book.

BTW should the license be changed to GPL-2+?

The implementation shouldn't even matter, so I replaced the blurb with the upstream one from [1].
