to IDLE versions prior to 0.8, principally Mark Hammond, Jeremy Hylton,

There are several distribution files (where xx is the subversion):
-IDLEfork-0.9xx.win32.exe
- This is a Windows installer which will install IDLEfork in
- ..../site-packages/idleforklib/ and place the idefork startup script
- at ..../scripts/idlefork. Rename this to idlefork.pyw and
- point your launcher icons at it. Installation is as idlefork
- to avoid conflict with the original Python IDLE.
-
-IDLEfork-0.9xx-1.noarch.rpm
- This is an rpm which is designed to install as idleforklib in an
- existing /usr/lib/python2.2 tree. It installs as idlefork to avoid
- conflict with Python IDLE.
-
- Python rpms are available at http://www.python.org/2.2.2/rpms.html and
- http://www.python.org/2.2.1/rpms.html.

+ "python setup.py install" to install in ....site-packages/idleforklib.
- If you don't want to overwrite Python IDLE, it is also possible to
- simply call "python idle.py" to run from the IDLEfork source directory
- without making an installation. In this case, IDLE will not be on
- your PATH unless you are in the source directory. Also, it is then
- advisable to remove any Python IDLE installation by removing
- ..../site-packages/idlelib so the two identically named packages don't
- conflict.
+IDLE-0.9xx.tar.gz
+ This is also a distutils sdist (source) tarfile.
+
+ ** It remains configured to install as idlelib, not idleforklib. **
+
+ First, remove your existing ..../site-packages/idlelib directory.
+
+ Unpack in ..../Tools/, cd to the IDLE directory (note the caps)
+ created, and "python setup.py install" to install in
+ ....site-packages/idlelib. This will replace the Python IDLE
+ installation.
+
+ If you don't want to overwrite Python IDLE, I'd recommend using the
+ IDLEfork release mentioned above. However, it is also possible to
+ simply build IDLE without installing it: "python setup.py build" and
+ then copy the interrupt.so library out of the build directory into the
+ IDLE directory where IDLE can find it,
+
+ In this case, IDLE will not be on your PATH unless you are in the
+ source directory. Either append your PATH or use a fully qualified
+ path to access IDLE, something like
+
+ python /usr/bin/python/Tools/IDLE/idle.py
+
+ That way you can continue to use the original IDLE at
+ ..../Tools/idle/idle.py if you like. (note lower case)
+
+ Using this approach, it's possible to have many different versions
+ of IDLE on your system at the same time, for comparison/test.
+
On Redhat Linux systems prior to 8.0, /usr/bin/python may be pointing
at python1.5. If so, change the first line in the /usr/bin/idle
script to read:
+
!# /usr/bin/python2.2
+
+ An RPM has not been released since with addition of the interrupt
+ extension it is no longer platform/architecture independent. The
+ distutils make it easy to build and install from the .tar.gz
+ distribution. Certainly it's just as easy as installing the rpm.
+
+
On Mac OS X, /usr/bin/python may be pointing at the OS-installed
python, which does not have GUI support. Change the first line of
/usr/bin/idle to read:
+
#! /usr/bin/env pythonw
Also, to build an IDLE application that can be used from the Finder
on Mac OS X, run:
+
pythonw buildapp.py build
open build
+
You will see an IDLE application.
