I'm trying to build a formatted text editor in python. I need the editor to be paginated on edit mode. Same as in all popular word processors - when the user is editing the document what he/she sees is a representation of the actual, physical, page.

I've tried looking into PySide but I can't find any ready solution to this, nor I can work out a way to do it myself.

I am totally open to new technologies, so if you think Python is not the right choice here I would love to hear about new stuff (especially when I'm this new to UI coding). It only needs to be cross-platform and let me do rapid development (hence me looking for an out-of-the-box solution to this).

Please suggest the best way to implement this. Please also note that I am looking for either a ready solution or an advice on how to tackle this.

Thank you very much !
