-IDLE 0.5 - February 2000
-------------------------
-
-This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based
-IDE for Python.
-
-For news about this release, see the file NEWS.txt. (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).
