Look for IDLE in Add/Remove Applications.
Perhaps, you may have a different version of Ubuntu.

Yes, I'm using 2.45.2 as that is the highest version available in the Ubuntu repositories, and I'd like to keep it simple for users of programs i write. If I install a higher version from somewhere other than the repositories it will force users of my programs to do the same, and the repositories are the trusted source of software for Ubuntu, and other Linux users.

Thanks for being so observant.

That should have been version 2.5.2 without the 4 I typoed. I'm using Hardy Heron, 8.04, and plan to stick with it until version 10 comes out as it is the next LTS version.

I'm eyeballing Idle in Synaptic, and it appears to be an IDE for version 2.5 of Python for my version of Ubuntu. Idle is available for version 2.4 there as well. I'm pretty used to writing all of my code with only the aid of syntax highlighting, but have been hankering for an editor that will allow tabbed, or collapsible functions, and collapsible block elements.

Does Idle do that? I guess I'll just go ahead and install it, and give it a try. Some IDEs I don't like with their project centric viewpoint, and my inability to quickly absorb their project file structures details to the point I can use them.

If that doesn't happen pretty much within ten or fifteen minutes I go back to gedit. 8-)
