To (hopefully) speed up the devlopment of IDLE a temporary fork has been created as a seperate project at SourceForge:

http://idlefork.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/idlefork

The CVS version represents the enhanced IDLE version sed by David Scherer in his VPython. Besides other improvements this version executes threads in a seperate process.

The spanish inquisition invites everybody interested in IDLE (and not keen to participate in any witch trials) to contribute to the project.

Any kind of contribution (discussion of new features, bug reports, patches) will be appreciated.

If we can get the new IDLE version stable and Python's benevolent dictator for life blesses our lines of code, the improved IDLE may go back into Python's source tree proper.
