Hello,

Quite an interesting question recently popped up in pygame community
that I'd like to ask to Python developers.

How many of you use IDLE?
What's wrong with it?

>From my side I like the idea of having default Python editor that is
small, fast, convenient and extensible/embeddable. IDLE is small and
fast, but I feel really uncomfortable with its. The worst thing - I
can't change it. Does anybody else feel the same to think if we could
replace IDLE with something more maintainable by providing Scintilla
bindings, for example?

Regards,
