That's what I like to hear.

I'm still stymied a bit by the IDLE situation.  Soon enough there will be no
reason to distribute an IDLE with VPython, so my VPython distro does and
will not include it.

But if I take Kirby as an audience of one, as of the moment you may have
nothing conventiently available to run VPython scripts without the older
forked IDLE.

Kirby -

I'm happy to send along the VPython and PyGeo distros I prepared. In fact I
would like a reaction, and a test.  But you'd be on your own as to an
editor.  Though Scite/Scintilla - which Patrick mentioned in conjunction
with PyCrust - would be an excellent choice, IMO.

At

http://www.scintilla.org

Scintilla I would call a library for text editor functionality.  SCite is an
actual implementation  of an editor, using the scintilla library.  So you
would want the Scite executable distribution.

As a cross language guy it should be up your ally.  Designed to work with
many, many languages - that is as to basic editor functionality like keyword
syntaxing etx.  Highly customizable. Create and play with the
local.properties file, which overrides the global.properties file.

Let me know if I should send stuff along.
