Initially (five years ago!) I tried to overcome these issues by
improving IDLE, solving problems and adding a few key features.
Without going into details, suffice to say that IDLE hasn't improved
much since 2005 despite my efforts. For example, see
Is it maybe time for another idle-fork project to develop IDLE outside
the stdlib for a while, and then the forked version could be swallowed
wholesale by the Python 3.2 release?
Whilst I would *really* like to see bugfixes and minor improvements in
functionality incorporated back into IDLE (who wouldn't?) I think it is
important that IDLE remains focused on its nice of being a "simple" or
"beginners" IDE, without trying to become a full blown IDE that is even
harder for us to maintain.
Speaking of which, the IDLE.app that comes with Python 2.7 for Mac OS X
isn't working for me. Anyone else seeing that?
All the best,
Michael Foord
