Thanks for the link.  That request was also posted as an IDLEfork bug
last summer (within minutes of my check-in which implemented it :)
though in a slightly different way).

Please try installing the latest packaged version of IDLEfork (0.9a2),
it has the capability you are looking for.  Individual breakpoints can
be cleared, and breakpoints are saved across IDLE sessions. 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/idlefork

IDLEfork (current CVS version) has been added to the Python CVS on the
idlefork-merge-branch.  That version is somewhat beyond 0.9a2 in that
it uses a threaded subprocess.  However, it is not the final threaded
version which will be available RSN as IDLEfork 0.9b1 and later in
Python 2.3b2, replacing the old IDLE.
