I've been using the MatLAB IDE lately, and it has a few things that would be worth looking at for IDLE
1) a button next to the prompt that can be used for browsing and searching for functions this is really useful if you either aren't sure what module you need for a specific function, or just want to get a feel for the various functions available from assorted modules http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/find-functions-using-the-function-browser.html 2) a window showing currently available variables and their values it shows all variables that are currently in scope, the number of elements the variable contains, etc. http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/workspace.html Also a command to display all variables in scope (whos) Tom M. _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list IDLE-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
