(For a more -detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.) - -FEATURES - -IDLE has the following features: - -- coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (i.e. Tcl/Tk) - -- cross-platform: works on Windows and Unix (on the Mac, there are -currently problems with Tcl/Tk) - -- multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing -and many other features, e.g. smart indent and call tips - -- Python shell window (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) - -- debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view and step) - -USAGE - -The main program is in the file "idle.py"; on Unix, you should be able -to run it by typing "./idle.py" to your shell. On Windows, you can -run it by double-clicking it; you can use idle.pyw to avoid popping up -a DOS console. If you want to pass command line arguments on Windows, -use the batch file idle.bat. - -Command line arguments: files passed on the command line are executed, -not opened for editing, unless you give the -e command line option. -Try "./idle.py -h" to see other command line options. - -IDLE requires Python 1.5.2 or later, so it is currently only usable -with a Python 1.5.2 (or later) distribution. (An older version of -IDLE is distributed with Python 1.5.2; you can drop this version on -top of it.) - -COPYRIGHT - -IDLE is covered by the standard Python copyright notice -(http://www.python.org/doc/Copyright.html). - -FEEDBACK - -For feedback, please use the Python Bugs List -(http://www.python.org/search/search_bugs.html). - ---Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) |
