Tell me, please, can I use some of the IDLE source code in my program?
The official answer is "Read the license", in particular, the PYTHON SOFTWARE FOUNDATION LICENSE VERSION 2. You can access it on the online docs or by entering 'license()' at a >>> prompt or in IDLE, Help => About IDLE => License. In general, the license is generous in giving permissions, so long as one gives credit and takes responsibility for the result.
I do not know the legal definition of 'derivative work' as used in the license, and you did not say how much is 'some'. If you use all or most of a module, include the the copyright notice of clause 2 and the 'brief summary of changes' of clause 3.
If you want to reply, either subscribe to the list or use the news.gmane.org mirror.
