[Idle-dev] where is pythonwin? relationship to idle?

[John Schmitt]

Thanks.

I installed ActivePython 2.1.  

The link you provided mentions the source code, browseable at this URL:

http://www.pythonpros.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/PyWin32

which does not work right now.

IDLE.cfg is supposed to be a keyboard config, I guess.

AFAIK, Pythonwin doesn't use IDLE (it has its own colorizing editor),
so I'm surprised there's an IDLE.cfg there...
