Well, the nice thing about IDLE is that it is implemented in pure Python. This means you don't have to compile at all to make changes; just edit IDLE's code and run it. IDLE's code is found under the Lib/idlelib directory where your Python library files are found. Under Windows this is found where you installed Python (C:\Python26 by default for Python2.6). When working on IDLE it is useful to run it from the command line so you can see exception output etc. On windows, open a command prompt and run: C:\Python26\python.exe C:\Python26\Lib\idlelib\idle.py Good luck! - Tal
