There is an editor for Python as part of FreeCAD, it is started by clicking the Edit button on the Macro -> Macros.... If you want to use a 3rd party editor which takes advantage of your platform then there are various Python editors available, for numerous platforms and with a variety of level of functionality. One advantage of using an external editor is that the display area of FreeCAD can be used for output (both graphic and textual to the console) while the source code is displayed in a different application.
