I had similar experiences with the development of IDLE. We wanted to use IDLE in a computational physics course, however it was impossible to have two idle instances on the same (Linux) machine because of some socket stuff. My post http://mail.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2003-February/001663.html recieved no response. So IDLE was unusable for our course (and, I just checked, with IDLE 1.0.4, Python 2.3.4 the problem is still there ...). So now we are using happily ipython, http://ipython.scipy.org/ together with kate, or xemacs or vi(m), as editor, whatever the student prefers.
