[Python-Dev] Replacing IDLE (original) (raw)

Does that mean even if authors of some imaginary editor agree to incorporate their code into Python, the framework that it is built upon will have to be incorporated into Python also (and eventually abandoned at original location)?

It depends. It should work the same way as IDLE: it's ok that Tcl/Tk itself is not included in Python, however, Tkinter is.

If that imaginary editor has lots of build dependencies that make it really difficult to use it, I would be opposed to including it. If it requires one library that is typically already available on a Linux system, it would be fine with me.

Regards, Martin
