Ide with Autocompletion (newbie)

[Igor Secansky]

Hi,

I have it (IDLE) on Win2k.
Colors are not bad there, but autocompletion doesn't seem to work:

Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr  9 2002, 19:34:33) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IDLE 0.8 -- press F1 for help
>>> import rlcompleter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in ?
    import rlcompleter
  File "C:\Python22\lib\rlcompleter.py", line 42, in ?
    import readline
ImportError: No module named readline
>>>

Do I have a bad version? Or -- can can I configure it somehow?

and where is the gui-builder? I meen some painter where I drag buttons,
menus ...
and it generates appropriate code for it. Parenthesis and brackets
highliting is not there, too. Do You have it in Your version?

nice day
Igor

i definitely recommend IDLE.
from The Python Library Reference:
'''    16.5 IDLE
        Idle is the Python IDE built with the Tkinter GUI toolkit.
        IDLE has the following features:
        - coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit
        - cross-platform: works on Windows and Unix (on Mac OS, there are
currently problems with Tcl/Tk)
        - multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing and
many other features, e.g. smart indent and call tips
        - Python shell window (a.k.a. interactive interpreter)
        - debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view and
step)
'''

best regards,
nirinA
