Guido van Rossum, as well as being the creator of the Python language, is the
|
|
original creator of IDLE. Other contributors prior to Version 0.8 include
|
|
Mark Hammond, Jeremy Hylton, Tim Peters, and Moshe Zadka.
|
|
|
|
IDLE's recent development has been carried out in the IDLEfork project.
|
|
The objective was to develop a version of IDLE which had an execution
|
|
environment which could be initialized prior to each run of user code.
|
|
|
|
The IDLEfork project was initiated by David Scherer, with some help from Peter
|
|
Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley. David wrote the first version of the RPC
|
|
code and designed a fast turn-around environment for VPython. Guido developed
|
|
the RPC code and Remote Debugger currently integrated in IDLE. Bruce Sherwood
|
|
contributed considerable time testing and suggesting improvements.
|
|
|
|
Besides David and Guido, the main developers who have been active on IDLEfork
|
|
are Stephen M. Gava, who implemented the configuration GUI, the new
|
|
configuration system, and the About dialog, and Kurt B. Kaiser, who completed
|
|
the integration of the RPC and remote debugger, implemented the threaded
|
|
subprocess, and made a number of usability enhancements.
|
|
|
|
Other contributors include Raymond Hettinger, Tony Lownds (Mac integration),
|
|
Neal Norwitz (code check and clean-up), and Chui Tey (RPC integration, debugger
|
|
integration and persistent breakpoints).
