IDLE becomes **very** unresponsive when printing long lists/strings. Great doses of patience and a good processor usually let you live through (Idle uses 100%, you have to take out of view the long text to make it become responsive again). At least, this happens on Windows (maybe other platforms don't have this problem?). I get this a lot when working with long HTML. There must be something wrong in the way IDLE prints long strings...
