  For news about this release, see the file NEWS.txt.  (For a more
  detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.)
  
! This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based
! IDE for Python.  It has the following features:
  
! - 100% pure Python
! - multi-window text editor with multiple undo and Python colorizing
! - Python shell (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) window subclass
! - debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints and step)
! - works on Windows and Unix (probably works on Mac too)
! 
! The main program is in the file "idle"; on Windows you can use
! idle.pyw to avoid popping up a DOS console.  Any arguments passed are
! interpreted as files that will be opened for editing.
! 
! IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with the
! Python 1.5.2 distribution (luckily, IDLE is bundled with Python
! 1.5.2).
  
! Please send feedback to the Python newsgroup, comp.lang.python, and cc
! me <guido@python.org>.

! FEATURES
! 
! IDLE has the following features:
! 
! - coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (i.e. Tcl/Tk)
! 
! - cross-platform: works on Windows and Unix (on the Mac, 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)
! 
! USAGE
! 
! The main program is in the file "idle.py"; on Unix, you should be able
! to run it by typing "./idle.py" to your shell.  On Windows, you can
! run it by double-clicking it; you can use idle.pyw to avoid popping up
! a DOS console.  If you want to pass command line arguments on Windows,
! use the batch file idle.bat.
! 
! Command line arguments: files passed on the command line are executed,
! not opened for editing, unless you give the -e command line option.
! Try "./idle.py -h" to see other command line options.
! 
! IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with a
! Python 1.5.2 distribution.  (An older version of IDLE is distributed
! with Python 1.5.2; you can drop this version on top of it.)
! 
! COPYRIGHT
! 
! IDLE is covered by the standard Python copyright notice
! (http://www.python.org/doc/Copyright.html).
  
! FEEDBACK
  
! For feedback, please use the Python Bugs List
! (http://www.python.org/search/search_bugs.html).
