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

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).
