This is not how it works. We cannot incorporate something into Python without explicit consent and support from the author(s). So for any editor to be incorporated as a replacement (along with all libraries it depends on) we would need a commitment from the author(s) that they support the fork that we create (and eventually abandon their stand-alone release in favor of the fork). > Should we place an editor first and combine the list a of unique > features of IDLE that we (as developers) will surely miss OR should > we think what GUI framework will be more beneficial for Python users > if shipped by default (keeping in mind that we might have to add > missing features to whatever editor we choose later)? I think neither approach can possibly work. It's always the authors of contribution who need to act first.
