IDLE 0.5 - February 2000
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
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 distribution (luckily, IDLE is bundled with Python
|
|
1.5.2).
