I'm not sure about this because I don't have gnome-terminal
available, but according to this description of the command-line
options,

http://www.fifi.org/doc/gnome-terminal/html/gnome-terminal/C/options.html

you should be using -x rather than the -e that every other terminal
uses, you shouldn't be using =, and I don't think you need to escape
the spaces between the arguments to python. So I think this should
work, but I haven't tested it.

map <F5> :!gnome-terminal -x python -i %<CR>

HTH,
Gary
