I am also a VB-6 programmer and one thing I miss *dearly* is the ComboBox DropDown in VB-6 that lists all the defined Functions and Subs in the module...
It would be very helpful to have a similar facility in Idle...
Where all the defined functions were listed in a convenient drop-down menu and with one click you could find that pesky function...
If I understand well, you should have a look at Noam Raphael's IDLE patch:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=906702&group_id=5470&atid=305470
It provides a drop down menu accessible through the Tab key which lists the members of objects and modules (after you type the dot).
You can download a set of already patched files from my page (patch applied on some python 2.3 version):
http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~dooms/python/IDLE_patch.zip
I use these patched files for in-class IDLE use on a morphix live-cd and no student ever crashed their session.
However, using these files, I suffer from some instability of IDLE (under Debian). But, as I'm not the only one (see a previous thread on this list), it could be unrelated.
