Thanks for the URL.

I consider myself a reasonably seasoned IDE user, having used Visual Studio, emacs with SLIME, Borland C++Builder, Xcode, Delphi, Eclipse, LightTable and PyCharm, and probably I forgot some.

However, I still use IDLE regularly on Windows and Unix systems (not on OSX). I don't care much about advanced IDE features. Basically I want a programmers' text editor with minimal syntax highlighting and a shortcut key like F9 or CMD+R to run my program. When developing webapps, I rely on the 'save' function of the editor and having the web framework reload the sources automatically while in developer mode.  For debugging, I use Python's 'pdb' or the more fancier 'pudb' where appropriate.

I really like to see IDLE stay as part of the Python installation. And I'm sure, with all the attention it gets nowadays, that it'll stay a minimal but usable basic IDE for developing Python programs.

Greetings,
