Guido van Rossum a917af7fc7 "Path browser" - 4 scrolled lists displaying:
directories on sys.path
    modules in selected directory
    classes in selected module
    methods of selected class

Sinlge clicking in a directory, module or class item updates the next
column with info about the selected item.  Double clicking in a
module, class or method item opens the file (and selects the clicked
item if it is a class or method).

I guess eventually I should be using a tree widget for this, but the
ones I've seen don't work well enough, so for now I use the old
Smalltalk or NeXT style multi-column hierarchical browser.

IDLE 0.3 - 17 February 1999
---------------------------

For news about this release, see the file NEWS.txt.  (For a more
detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.)

This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based
IDE for Python.  It has the following features:

- 100% pure Python
- multi-window text editor with multiple undo and Python colorizing
- Python shell (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) window subclass
- debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints and step)
- works on Windows and Unix (probably works on Mac too)

The main program is in the file "idle"; on Windows you can use idle.pyw
to avoid popping up a DOS console.  Any arguments passed are interpreted
as files that will be opened for editing.

IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with the
Python 1.5.2 beta distribution (luckily, IDLE is bundled with Python
1.5.2).

Please send feedback to the Python newsgroup, comp.lang.python.
