[Idle-dev] leo.py 3.0 outlining editor

[Guido van Rossum]

It's pretty quiet here.  The following announcement may be of interest
because it's an app with some similar features as IDLE
(e.g. configuration).  It also imports IDLE and uses the Python shell,
if it can, I believe.  Worth looking into?  Worth suggesting
cooperation or at least exchange of ideas?
