-IDLE is Python's Tkinter-based Integrated DeveLopment Environment.
-
-IDLE emphasizes a lightweight, clean design with a simple user interface.
-Although it is suitable for beginners, even advanced users will find that
-IDLE has everything they really need to develop pure Python code.
-
-IDLE features a multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing,
-and many other capabilities, e.g. smart indent, call tips, and autocompletion.
-
-The editor has comprehensive search functions, including searching through
-multiple files. Class browsers and path browsers provide fast access to
-code objects from a top level viewpoint without dealing with code folding.
-
-There is a Python Shell window which features colorizing and command recall.
-
-IDLE executes Python code in a separate process, which is restarted for each
-Run (F5) initiated from an editor window. The environment can also be
-restarted from the Shell window without restarting IDLE.
-
-This enhancement has often been requested, and is now finally available. The
-magic "reload/import *" incantations are no longer required when editing and
-testing a module two or three steps down the import chain.
-
-(Personal firewall software may warn about the connection IDLE makes to its
-subprocess using this computer's internal loopback interface. This connection
-is not visible on any external interface and no data is sent to or received
-from the Internet.)
-
-It is possible to interrupt tightly looping user code, even on Windows.
-
-Applications which cannot support subprocesses and/or sockets can still run
-IDLE in a single process.
-
-IDLE has an integrated debugger with stepping, persistent breakpoints, and call
-stack visibility.
-
-There is a GUI configuration manager which makes it easy to select fonts,
-colors, keybindings, and startup options. This facility includes a feature
-which allows the user to specify additional help sources, either locally or on
-the web.
-
-IDLE is coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (Tk/Tcl)
-and is cross-platform, working on Unix, Mac, and Windows.
-
-IDLE accepts command line arguments. Try idle -h to see the options.
-
-
-If you find bugs or have suggestions or patches, let us know about
-them by using the Python issue tracker:
-
-http://bugs.python.org
-
-For further details and links, read the Help files and check the IDLE home
-page at
-

+README.txt: an index to idlelib files and the IDLE menu.
+
+IDLE is Python’s Integrated Development and Learning
+Environment. The user documentation is part of the Library Reference and

+idlelib for IDLE developers and curious users.
+
+IDLELIB FILES lists files alphabetically by category,
+with a short description of each.

+
+This file is descriptive, not prescriptive, and may have errors
+and omissions and lag behind changes in idlelib.

+IDLE MENUS
+Top level items and most submenu items are defined in Bindings.
+Extenstions add submenu items when active. The names given are
+found, quoted, in one of these modules, paired with a '<<pseudoevent>>'.
+Each pseudoevent is bound to an event handler. Some event handlers
+call another function that does the actual work. The annotations below
+are intended to at least give the module where the actual work is done.
