... I'd throw Tools into the same thing [as Demos]. As a separate distro, you can have a faster release cycle. ... you could release Idle updates easily and distinctly from the Python core.
Note that Guido gave his blessing for a "wide open" policy on IDLE (== its own project in SourceForge, and anyone can be a developer). If that's a success (& I predict it will be, provided someone actually bothers to set up the SF project!), I'd like to see it spread to Tools and Demos too.
Are you suggesting that IDLE be separate from a Tools/Demo package, or that the whole bunch be shoved out into the wild? Hmm... I guess that I don't much have an opinion one way or the other, but was mostly looking for clarification. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
