Just wanted to share some documentation I’ve put together (and a snapshot of the code) on the effort to improve the appearance and behaviour of IDLE: http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/idle.html <http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/idle.html> (There’s also currently a post on Hacker News about this). While Terry can better speak to plans and timelines about getting these changes integrated in, it seems a good time to get some other people to have a closer look and share any feedback. Mark

there is also http://idlex.sourceforge.net/about.html to mention. 2015-11-06 18:08 GMT+01:00 Mark Roseman <mark@markroseman.com>:

Very cool! Thanks to all involved for these modernisation efforts :) Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

You have a link for that HN item? I've looked at the first five pages but couldn't find it.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10519785 I used the big "Search" box at the bottom of the main Hacker News page. ;)

Thanks for the URL. I consider myself a reasonably seasoned IDE user, having used Visual Studio, emacs with SLIME, Borland C++Builder, Xcode, Delphi, Eclipse, LightTable and PyCharm, and probably I forgot some. However, I still use IDLE regularly on Windows and Unix systems (not on OSX). I don't care much about advanced IDE features. Basically I want a programmers' text editor with minimal syntax highlighting and a shortcut key like F9 or CMD+R to run my program. When developing webapps, I rely on the 'save' function of the editor and having the web framework reload the sources automatically while in developer mode. For debugging, I use Python's 'pdb' or the more fancier 'pudb' where appropriate. I really like to see IDLE stay as part of the Python installation. And I'm sure, with all the attention it gets nowadays, that it'll stay a minimal but usable basic IDE for developing Python programs. Greetings,
