Hi, this is Al. I haven't had much time to work on IDLE Reimagined in recent months, but I'd like to get back on it in a couple weeks. Mostly I've been following a rabbit hole of:
* I need to make this project approachable for new contributors... * So I want to document the code... * But first I should refactor it to simplify it... * But first I should make the unit tests complete to avoid breaking anything... * But first I need to learn tkinter for the gui tests... etc. But I'm still committed to a UI overhaul of IDLE as a newbie tool that is bundled with Python. -Al On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 1:14 PM, Mark Roseman <m...@markroseman.com> wrote: > I agree, IDLE as solely a learning tool makes a lot of sense if it’s going > to continue to exist as part of Python.
