We still need the interpreter for one huge thing -- Tkinter. Since
Tkinter destroys the IDE, having the interpreter around for running
Tkinter apps is a must.
It would be great to figure out how to get Tkinter running inside the
IDE, but that seems quite a bit harder than a "Run With Interpreter"
button in the IDE -- which brings me to my point. The biggest
feature that the IDE needs (besides syntax coloring) is that "Run
With Interpreter" button. Is anybody working on this right now? I
have a idea of how it might work, but I don't want to duplicate
work...
