Smallest ChucK IDE Ever

From CSWiki

this python script calls the SciTE editor to edit a ChucK script given on the command line and runs the ChucK script as well. Whenever the file is saved, the ChucK VM is stopped and rerun. When there is a syntax error it is being displayed and runchuck.py waits until the file is saved again.

runchuck.py:

#!/usr/bin/python
