I'd like to see this feature as I've been using IDLE quite a lot recently and
I'm so used to seeing it in other IDEs.

I have never actually used this feature, and I do not see it in Notepad++. I
worry that some people, especially beginners with no experience of this
'feature' would hate this, so it would have to be optional.
Do you literally mean 'parentheses' or also square
Tal Einat added the comment:
I like the idea, though it's really just nice to have. This is a very common in
IDEs these days, and whoever finds it annoying will be able to disable it.
If we do this, we should go all the way and close square and curly brackets,
parenthesis, and quotes
Tal Einat added the comment:
Well, I was wrong. I can't find anything of the sort in my old IDLE files.

I have thought about such a feature also. I would at least like to have patch
to try it out. Possible? I suspect so.

New submission from irdb:
Many other IDE's have this feature that allows automatic insertion of closing
parentheses as user is typing something. I think it saves time and increases
programming speed. Is it possible to have this on IDLE, too?
