- IDLE 0.4 - 7 April 1999
- -----------------------
-
- For news about this release, see the file NEWS.txt. (For a more
- detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.)
-
- This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based
- IDE for Python. It has the following features:
-
- - 100% pure Python
- - multi-window text editor with multiple undo and Python colorizing
- - Python shell (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) window subclass
- - debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints and step)
- - works on Windows and Unix (probably works on Mac too)
-
- The main program is in the file "idle"; on Windows you can use idle.pyw
- to avoid popping up a DOS console. Any arguments passed are interpreted
- as files that will be opened for editing.
-
- IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with the
- Python 1.5.2 distribution (luckily, IDLE is bundled with Python
- 1.5.2).
-
- Please send feedback to the Python newsgroup, comp.lang.python, and cc
- me <guido@python.org>.
