There is a GUI configuration manager which makes it easy to select fonts,
colors, keybindings, and startup options. This facility includes a feature
which allows the user to specify additional help sources, either locally or on
the web.
IDLE is coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (Tk/Tcl)
and is cross-platform, working on Unix, Mac, and Windows.
IDLE accepts command line arguments. Try idle -h to see the options.
