I'm happy with using elpy for python development in Emacs. The defaults are nice. Also backends like jedi/rope are supported. https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy

Strangely enough, I find that retention is always better (for me atleast) in casual reading of novels etc; I'm ok there with ~400-500 wpm. I do skim through reports actually, well mostly that happens when you approximately know the content
