[Idle-dev] Source code of IDLE

[Sean Felipe Wolfe]

Generally speaking open-source means you can use the code. You have to be
careful a) if you want to sell your product and b) an opensource license
may require you to give credit.

If you are interested in development on IDLE or the Python language in
general, you might also check out the mentor mailing list at
