[Idle-dev] Tix'ed Idle

[Mike Clarkson]

And now for something completely different; a Tix'ed version of Idle.

I was playing around with some Tk code that runs under Python, and 
realized that I could wrap Idle in some Tix widgets that gives a very 
pleasing UI, with a lot of Idle's funtionality brought to the surface. 
I have a frozen version of it for Windows or Linux;

It goes in the opposite direction of idlefork, namely making the
shell window primary, but it looks very canonnical, and has a lot
of Idle's functionality brought to the foreground.

There may be still little bugs and gotchas, often related to the
packaging for Windows or Linux, so I ask for your patience. Unix
users nota bene: you must cd to the bin/linux-x86 directory first
before running the executable. The windows packaging is better tested.
Sorry no specific documentation yet, but I've included an html
version of the Tcl/Tk/Tix man pages.

Let me know what you think.

Mike.
