Yes but fixing idle just gives us another editor, there isn't a shortage of editors. There is a shortage of a common community code base for an ide framework, logical, reusable and extensible. For an example of a brilliant beginners "ide" racket has it covered with DrRacket http://racket-lang.org/ , it has selectable language levels beginner, intermediate, advanced that allows the learner to adjust the level of language features available as they learn, teachpacks are installable to add extra features or options when completing the tutorials(could easily be adapted to the python tutorials). If idle is for teaching people to learn python shouldn't it have the facility to do that? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
