IDLE is Python’s Integrated Development and Learning Environment.
The GUI is uniform between Windows, Unix, and Mac OS X.
IDLE provides an easy way to start writing, running, and debugging
Python code.
IDLE is written in pure Python, and uses the tkinter GUI toolkit.
It provides:
- a Python shell window (interactive interpreter) with colorizing of code input, output, and error messages,
- a multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing, smart indent, call tips, auto completion, and other features,
- search within any window, replace within editor windows, and search through multiple files (grep),
- a debugger with persistent breakpoints, stepping, and viewing of global and local namespaces.
