It's as if I hear myself thinking, a few months ago... Or is it
time-travel? Anyway, you can find a port of the Idle class browser
to PyQt (for Qt 2.x) and to PyKDE (KDE 1.12) at my website. It's got
a few extra functions (you can add a path to the tree), and a bug
(there's a button that once did reload the current path, but have
somehow rebugged it...) The out-of-the-box editor is Nedit, too. To use
another editor you have to hack the source a bit.

Go to:

for the browser. There's other stuff on PyKDE and PyQt at

too, which you might like to take a peek at.
