It will start happening sometime (soon, I hope) after Python 3.2 goes out the door, which should happen in about two weeks. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of last-minute firefighting in Python 3.2 IDLE, particularly on Mac OS X 10.6 when using the new Cocoa-based version of Tk 8.5. It would be great to have more testing there of either the traditional 32-bit OS X installer (from python.org) which uses either the Apple-suppliedTk 8.4 (included with OS X 10.4 through 10.6) or ActiveState Tk 8.4. Or, on 10.6 only, the 64-bit/32-bit installer which requires the latest ActiveState Tk 8.5. There is preliminary, pre-release info here: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2/ http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ Once 3.2 is released, I plan to work on getting the VIDLE enhancements into the next maintenance releases, 2.7.2 and 3.2.1. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list IDLE-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
