===============
1+
IDLE is Python's Tkinter-based Integrated DeveLopment Environment.
32

4-
IDLEfork is an official experimental fork of Python's Integrated DeveLopment
5-
Environment, IDLE. The biggest change is to execute Python code in a separate
6-
process, which is /restarted/ for each Run (F5) initiated from an editor
7-
window. This enhancement of IDLE has often been requested, and is now finally
8-
available, complete with the IDLE debugger. The magic "reload/import *"
9-
incantations are no longer required when editing/testing a module two or three
10-
steps down the import chain.
3+
IDLE emphasizes a lightweight, clean design with a simple user interface.
4+
Although it is suitable for beginners, even advanced users will find that
5+
IDLE has everything they really need to develop pure Python code.
116

12-
It is possible to interrupt tightly looping user code with a control-c, even on
13-
Windows.
7+
IDLE features a multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing,
8+
and many other capabilities, e.g. smart indent, call tips, and autocompletion.
149

15-
There is also a new GUI configuration manager which makes it easy to select
16-
fonts, colors, keybindings, and startup options. There is new feature where
17-
the user can specify additional help sources, either locally or on the web.
10+
The editor has comprehensive search functions, including searching through
11+
multiple files. Class browsers and path browsers provide fast access to
12+
code objects from a top level viewpoint without dealing with code folding.
1813

19-
IDLEfork will be merged back into the Python distribution in the near future
20-
(probably 2.3), replacing the current version of IDLE.
14+
There is a Python Shell window which features colorizing and command recall.
2115

22-
For information on this release, refer to NEWS.txt
16+
IDLE executes Python code in a separate process, which is restarted for each
17+
Run (F5) initiated from an editor window. The environment can also be
18+
restarted from the Shell window without restarting IDLE.

IDLE has an integrated debugger with stepping, persistent breakpoints, and call
30+
stack visibility.
31+
32+
There is a GUI configuration manager which makes it easy to select fonts,
33+
colors, keybindings, and startup options. This facility includes a feature
34+
which allows the user to specify additional help sources, either locally or on
35+
the web.
36+
37+
IDLE is coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (Tk/Tcl)
38+
and is cross-platform, working on Unix, Mac, and Windows.
39+
40+
IDLE accepts command line arguments. Try idle -h to see the options.
