I'm using pythonwin and I find it a pretty great tool. There
is one
thing I find annoying though so I thought I'd suggest it as
a possible
enhancement if development is continuing on it.

The file open dialog in pythonwin only allows me to open one
file
at a time. Most file open dialogs on Windows allows one to
select multiple files using either shift or cntrl. Could the
pythonwin
dialog be enhanced to do this?

Another, much less important request would be to indicate in
some way that a file open in an edit window has been
modified
and not saved. Other IDE's I've used put an asterisk in the
title
bar when you modify the file and remove it when you do a
save.
