+- 100% pure Python
 - multi-window text editor with multiple undo and Python colorizing
 - Python shell (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) window subclass
-- debugger

+- 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 DO:
-
-- "GO" command
-- "Modularize" command
-- command expansion from keywords, module contents, other buffers, etc.
-- "Recent documents" menu item
-- more emacsisms:
-  - parentheses matching
-  - reindent, reformat text etc.
-  - M-[, M-] to move by paragraphs
-  - smart stuff with whitespace around Return
-  - filter region?
-  - incremental search?
-  - ^K should cut to buffer
-  - command to fill text paragraphs
-- restructure state sensitive code to avoid testing flags all the time
-- finish debugger
-- object browser instead of current stack viewer
-- persistent user state (e.g. window and cursor positions, bindings)
-- make backups when saving
-- check file mtimes at various points
-- interface with RCS/CVS/Perforce ???
-- status bar?
-- better help?
-- don't open second class browser on same module
-
-Details:
-
-- when there's a selection, left/right arrow should go to either
-  end of the selection
-- ^O (on Unix -- open-line) should honor autoindent
-- after paste, show end of pasted text
-- on Windows, should turn short filename to long filename (not only in argv!)
-  (shouldn't this be done -- or undone -- by ntpath.normpath?)
-
-Structural problems:
-
-- too much knowledge in FileList about EditorWindow (for example)
-- Several occurrences of scrollable listbox with title and certain
-  behavior; should create base class to generalize this

-Comparison to PTUI
-------------------
-
-+ PTUI has a status line
-
-+ PTUI's help is better (HTML!)
-
-+ PTUI can attach a shell to any module
-
-+ PTUI's auto indent is better
-  (understands that "if a: # blah, blah" opens a block)
-
-+ IDLE requires 4x backspace to dedent a line
-
-+ PTUI has more bells and whistles:
-  open multiple
-  append
-  modularize
-  examine
-  go
-
-? PTUI's fontify is faster but synchronous (and still too slow);
-  does a lousy job if editing affects lines below
-
-- PTUI's shell is worse:
-  no coloring;
-  no editing of multi-line commands;
-  ^P seems to permanently remove some text from the buffer
-
-- PTUI's undo is worse:
-  no redo;
-  one char at a time
-
-- PTUI's GUI is a tad ugly:
-  I don't like the multiple buffers in one window model;
-  I don't like the big buttons at the top of the widow
-
-- PTUI lacks an integrated debugger
-
-- PTUI lacks a class browser
-
-- PTUI lacks many of IDLE's features:
-  - expand word
-  - regular expression search
-  - search files (grep)

-Notes after trying to run Grail
--------------------------------
-
-- Grail does stuff to sys.path based on sys.argv[0]; you must set
-sys.argv[0] to something decent first (it is normally set to the path of
-the idle script).
-
-- Grail must be exec'ed in __main__ because that's imported by some
-other parts of Grail.
-
-- Grail uses a module called History and so does idle :-(
