For me, this would be useful to have at the start of the next semester (August 2007)--- too soon for the next SoC. I don't have funding to provide for it, but do have some time and energy to help. To that end, I've started a wiki page: http://wiki.roboteducation.org/TabbedIDLE Feel free to use that as it is, or if there is a more appropriate place, move it, or ignore it. I have a CVS repository, too, if you'd like to use that. (Or point me to installation info on another if you would like.) One meta point for me: I don't really mind if this gets adopted immediately (or at all) into the standard IDLE distribution. That would be great, but not necessary for me. -Doug > - Tal _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
