Everything in Leo is an outline. - A Personal Information Manager. - A browser with a memory. - A powerful scripting environment. - A tool for studying other people's code. - A fully-featured IDE, with emacs-like commands. - Extensible via a simple plugin architecture. - A tool that plays well with IPython, vim and xemacs. - Written in 100% pure Python - Compatible with Python 2.6 and above or Python 3.0 and above. **Leo's unique features**: - Always-present, persistent, outline structure. - Leo's underlying data is a Directed Acyclic Graph. - Clones create multiple views of an outline. - A simple, powerful, outline-oriented Python API. - Scripts and programs can be composed from outlines. - Importers convert flat text into outlines. - Scripts have full access to all of Leo's sources. - Commands that act on outline structure. Example: the rst3 command converts outlines to reStructuredText. - @test and @suite scripts create unit tests automatically. - @button scripts apply scripts to outline data. - Outline-oriented directives. Simulating these features in vim or Emacs is possible, just as it is possible to simulate Python in assembly language... Followed by the actual updates. I think it's time to tell the world more clearly what makes Leo special. You can see this now on Leo's Python Package Page <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/leo/5.2>.
