The problem is that the internal IDE is suitable for LO Basic only. At 
the time that Python support became available in OpenOffice.org, the 
developers at Sun deemed that there was no suitably available IDE that 
could be integrated into the program. Nowadays of course, there is a 
fairly large choice of Python IDEs, but even these are not generally 
installed by default in Linux distributions because they are considered 
developer tools, and thus the integration of any one choice into LO is 
rather moot (not to mention space considerations in the size of the 
download that such integration might cause).
