It pointed to this list, telling me to join up. Here's the text in full: Too bad people exaggerate like hell -- especially in blog posts ;-).
I use IDLE almost daily and it works for me, especially with some of the more recent fixes. I have worked on IDLE issues on and off for over a year. But I have no idea what *you* think is 'broken as hell'. Given your experience teaching with IDLE, I would be very interested in knowing what you think are the top 3 or so outstanding issues. As well as here, you could also post to the idle-dev list, http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev, which is mirrored as gmane.org newsgroup gmane.comp.python.idle. You did not specify which Python version you used, but since 3.3.0 there have been about 30 patches pushed. I hope to see than many again in not too many months. You are welcome to join us to help make that happen.
