[New-bugs-announce] [issue17583] IDLE HOWTO

[Amit Saha]

New submission from Amit Saha:

I would like to propose a new HOWTO discussing IDLE from a user's perspective. I feel that the current documentation at http://docs.python.org/3/library/idle.html is not sufficient to be pointed to a newbie programmer or someone who wants to teach his/her students to IDLE. For example, being an experienced person myself, I didn't know how to start IDLE on Linux! Whether it was a separate package, or whether it was already installed (That may be my own shortcoming, but never the less).

I started a document this morning which can be seen here [1]. The source is here[2]

[1] http://amitsaha.github.com/site/notes/articles/idle/article.html
[2] http://amitsaha.github.com/site/notes/_sources/articles/idle/article.txt

I am putting up my hand to write the HOWTO and maintain it for 2.7 and 3.3+. 

Comments?
