IDLEfork Merged into Python!!

IDLEfork was merged with Python 2.3 on June 29, 2003, at the beta 2 release. Users of Python 2.3 or later should therefore be using the IDLE included in the distribution, not IDLEfork. (Users of Python 2.2 must continue to use IDLEfork.)

IDLEfork will continue bugfix upgrades to support Python 2.2. As of this date IDLEfork CVS is essentially equivalent to Python's IDLE CVS, but we are not planning to add new features to IDLEfork. Therefore you can expect IDLE to diverge from IDLEfork in the future. We recommend upgrading to Python 2.3.

It is possible that Beta versions of IDLE (from Python 2.4 development) may appear in the IDLEfork download area in the future.

Bugs and Patches should be reported to the Python tracker, not the IDLEfork tracker.
