+"""An IDLE extension to avoid having very long texts printed in the shell.
+
+A common problem in IDLE's interactive shell is printing of large amounts of
+text into the shell. This makes looking at the previous history difficult.
+Worse, this can cause IDLE to become very slow, even to the point of being
+completely unusable.
+
+This extension will automatically replace long texts with a small button.
+Double-cliking this button will remove it and insert the original text instead.
+Middle-clicking will copy the text to the clipboard. Right-clicking will open
+the text in a separate viewing window.
+
+Additionally, any output can be manually "squeezed" by the user. This includes
+output written to the standard error stream ("stderr"), such as exception
+messages and their tracebacks.
