IDLE is Python’s Integrated Development and Learning
|
||
Environment. The user documentation is part of the Library Reference and

is available in IDLE by selecting Help => IDLE Help. This README documents

IDLE MENUS
|
||
Top level items and most submenu items are defined in Bindings.
|
||
Extenstions add submenu items when active. The names given are
|
||
found, quoted, in one of these modules, paired with a '<<pseudoevent>>'.
|
||
Each pseudoevent is bound to an event handler. Some event handlers
|
||
call another function that does the actual work. The annotations below
|
||
are intended to at least give the module where the actual work is done.
