No one believes this martyrdom schtick you've taken on since you snuck away from our little challenge. Python-list and Python-dev are not the same thing. It's python-dev who decide what gets in, and provided your patches contain all the relevant required details-- documentation changes when appropriate, test cases when fixing bugs, stuff like that-- they'll get in sooner or later. I guarantee you that the committers really don't care enough about you to hate you: really, they're adults with way more important things to do. You're really not worth hating. Now, if you start moaning in the tickets, that might make it hard to get anyone to want to look at them. But, bear in mind: 2.7 is in Release Candidate 2, and that's the last 2.x. So, IDLE in 2.x is done, finished, never to be changed again (well, short of bug-fixes, but that doesn't count 'making it better'). So we're only talking 3.2+ IDLE here that you would be fixing. Perhaps you should go contribute to that dreampie project? It really does look quite promising. > the state of IDLE [snip] is very important to the future of Python. [Citation Needed]* --S * Okay, I concede having an IDLE-like-thing shipping with Python is of moderate importance. Making IDLE like the most awesome IDE man, I see no evidence of the need nor urgency nor importance of that.
