As far as I know, Mercurial does not support partial checkout. See http://mercurial.selenic.com/bts/issue105

Seems a bit of overkill to have to check out the entire developers
edition of python.

Doesn't hg have submodules? Even if IDLE is in the standard library,
it must be possible to treat it as a separate project from the
developer's perspective and then merge it in when building a
distribution.

The IDLE code is included with the standard library. It can be found in the

I agree that the wiki should include this information.

On the subject of forking and remerging etc. where's the IDLE code?

Would it be a good idea to move it to GitHub or BitBucket under git or hg?

Also, I'd suggest that if there's a page with information for
developers, someone links to it from http://wiki.python.org/moin/IDLE

What's idleX? Funny, I was thinking down the line of making my own
fork of idle and calling it idleXL . Haha.

Please, if possible, avoid creating yet another fork of IDLE!

History has shown that it is very difficult to merge features from a fork
back into IDLE.

Also, IDLE isn't getting too much developer attention as it is (except
for
Roger and Nick who have been doing a great job recently!), so it would be
great to have your efforts contribute to IDLE directly, in coordination
with
the few current developers.
