I'd like it if IDLE, or PythonWin would automatically insert the colon:

I Type:

if abc<ENTER>

Result:

if abc:
   _ <- cursor position

At the exact moment you hit enter on the above line, the editor would check
for the colon and, if not in a comment, add that colon for me. Same with
"for", and other places like that.
