I am rather new to both python and IDLE. The references to IDLE at www.python.org seem sadly out-of-date. I have a couple of simple enhancements I would like to make to IDLE that are not likely to be of general interest. (I want to use IDLE in teaching, and I want to save the sessions, both user input and IDLE output. I would like IDLE to remember where I saved the last session and default to that directory, and I would like it to prompt me if I close the IDLE window without having saved the session.) It seems like these should be easy to program, but I can't find the IDLE source. Where is it, please? I assume that I am allowed modify it just for my own use.
Overcourse you may. IDLE is written in Python, so you can simply edit its code, wherever your Python installation is. Just look in \Lib\idlelib\. (For instance, on Windows: C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\) In addition, IDLE's source is in Python's SVN: http://www.python.org/dev/faq#subversion-svn (here too, look under Lib\idlelib\.) In addition, we'd be glad to hear any about any features you find missing or suggestions for improvement regarding IDLE. Good luck! - Tal
