Guido van Rossum e62e76c383 Super-elegant patch by Tim Peters that speeds up colorization
dramatically (up to 15 times he claims).  Works by reading more than
one line at a time, up to 100-line chunks (starting with one line and
then doubling up to the limit).  On a typical machine (e.g. Tim's
P5-166) this doesn't reduce interactive responsiveness in a noticeable
way.

IDLE 0.4 - 7 April 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 distribution (luckily, IDLE is bundled with Python
1.5.2).

Please send feedback to the Python newsgroup, comp.lang.python, and cc
me <guido@python.org>.
