You will probably want to look closely at the edit.py example program 
and the Edit class in urwid/widget.py.

I personally prefer "diff -u" style patches, either inline or as an 
attachment, but there's no strict rule.  I'm not sure what you mean 
about mailman scrubbing.

I would rather keep python questions off-list. You'll probably get 
better answers on python-list or the python irc channel anyway.
