Perhaps I'll take a look once everything stabilizes.  Feel free 
to remind me.  I have a short memory/attention span. :-)

I closed the feature request and updated PEP 42.  Thanks.

I found two more feature requests.  I believe one is done:  Printing.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=229840&group_id=5470&atid=355470

Summary: IDLE needs to print !

It'd be really nice if idle had a print function, all these nice
colors got to be printed ! or at least a postscript output would be
nice.

I'm not sure what the old IDLE had, but I see the print menu.  Did the
original have printing, but not color printing?

The other one is:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=230359&group_id=5470&atid=355470

Summary: Run script should not appear in shell window

When selecting "Run module" in the shell window, an error message
"The buffer Python Shell is not saved..." is produced.

Since running the shell window will fail in any case, these menu items
should be removed from the shell window.

Let me know if I should update these.

Thanks,
