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.
