IdleX - Lightweight IDE for Python

[KenT]

I've just tried IdleX on the Pi. Its an extension for Idle which gives lots of extra facilities including three I really wanted:

- Line numbers
- Multiple tabs
- execution of lines or sections of code in context

and it seems just as quick as Idle, certainly much quicker than Geany which is nice but very laggy when typing. Seems OK on Windows7 as well

Its easy to install, get it here - http://idlex.sourceforge.net/

I tried IdleX on the Pi too, but it only works on Python 2 but not Python 3. In other words, if I start it up like this it works:

$ python idlex.py

But like this, it gives errors and doesn't start:

$ python3 idlex.py

Any suggestions?
