IdleX is cool. They've been trying to get many of the
features incorporated into core Idle for years. I don't
follow the discussion closely enough to understand why
there is so much reluctance to do so. So far as I can
tell all the changes are good!
Part of the problem was the question of "is this a bug or an enhancement
request?". That's been resolved via PEP 434

Terry Reedy & Co are doing a lot of work to improve Idle. GSOC students
are helping again this summer. Jessica McClellan from the PSF is also
pushing, and Raymond Hettinger has a strong interest as he teaches using
Idle. Nothing like having a few big guns behind you :)
