Only on the part of Idle that really interests me - the path/class 
browser. It was remarkably easy to move from the custom tkInter
tree widget (which had a horribly scrolling bug a few weeks ago)
to the Qt listview widget, which I used. I thought the Idle code
was pretty easy reading matter, really - even though I still don't
understand the way tkInter works...

Oh, the URL is http://www.valdyas.org/python/kpybrowser.html. Tomorrow
between two o'clock and five o'clock there will be some
scheduled downtime (we're moving house), but there's a mirror at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsarempt/python/kpybrowser.html.
