IDLE 0.1 - 10/16/98
-------------------
This is a *very* early preliminary release of IDLE, my own attempt at
a Tkinter-based IDE for Python. It currently has the following
features:
- multi-window text editor with multiple undo and Python colorizing
- Python shell (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) window subclass
- debugger
It requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable for PSA
members who have the latest 1.5.2 alpha release (a public beta release
is due shortly).
Please send feedback to the Python newsgroup, comp.lang.python.

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 :-(
