Note that installing a new extension (e.g. from PyPI) is a hassle, so new
extensions die quickly if they aren't integrated into IDLE.

I think extensions would be much more useful given a config dialog for
configuring each extension separately. My patch for this has been sitting
around for years: issue3068 <http://bugs.python.org/issue3068>.

Admittedly I was given the go-ahead to make such changes to IDLE directly
and commit them, but unfortunately I haven't found the time required for
this since.
