IDLE tries very hard to be THE python IDE, but in my opinion
it is at heart an editor. Now, I am not sure you've looked
around at all the different editors out there, but if you
plan on looking, plan to set aside some time for the project.
A lot of time.

So, why are there so many editors?

One reason is that there is almost always something (or many
things) about an editor that just really completely makes
you fume! (please no one bring up those two _particular_
editors at this point :o)

Anyhow. If you don't like IDLE, use something else.

Thanks for your time.
