If *I* open an issue it will be ignored or quickly dismissed because
the people in charge of the Python community hate me. The reason for
this hate is because I am very outspoken and will not allow myself to
be brow beaten by some of the thugs within this group. Thats Ok, the
only people they hurt in the end is themselves. Well not really...
their actions filter out improvements that will benefit others. I have
said it before and i'll say it again...

IDLE IS BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR! WE MUST SALVAGE THE VERY FEW PARTS OF IT
THAT CAN BE SALVAGED AND RE-WRITE THE REST FROM THE GROUND UP! YOU
CANNOT KEEP MONKEY PATCHING BROKEN SOFTWARE!!!

Until that statement sinks into the exceedingly thick skulls around
here we will forever live in a state of stdlib hell. Yes IDLE was
originally written by the great GvR. He had a vision and we failed to
maintain that vision. The code sucks and is in a state not welcome in
any stdlib, however i am sure at the time he wrote it he could not
make as pretty as it should have been because he was also in the
process of building Python itself.

I don't blame GvR for the poor style of IDLE. I blame ALL OF YOU for
not allowing new code to replace this rotten piece of crap that makes
python look like some children's toy. You people should be ashamed of
yourselves. You have fallen asleep at the wheel and now the Valdeez is
spewing black crude into the word of programming covering all hope
with a nasty black film of pollution.

Some of you don't care about IDLE, well thats fine, but you should
care about the stdlib being clean and up to date.
