I recently watched a presentation by Jessica McKellar of PSF about what Python needs to stay popular. Other than the obvious bits (difficulties or limited support of Python on major platforms like Windows and mobile) the slight lack of perfection in IDLE was mentioned. Specifically the old blog post titled "The Things I Hate About IDLE That I Wish Someone Would Fix" at http://inventwithpython.com/blog/2011/11/29/the-things-i-hate-about-idle-that-i-wish-someone-would-fix/ It lists 17 issues and some more in the comments. Are those things something that could be considered? Or have maybe been done already? I'm not an IDLE user so this is mostly an academic interest on my part. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
