Hi Jim and others,
As for scripting IDLE, I think we should have a common specs where JAWS and
NVDA can provide similar interfaces and commands (I'll either work on IDLE
add-on or look for someone to help out). We have many testers here so they
can give us feedback.
Cheers,
Joseph

I should have called this thread, IDE. One vender has an "Embeddeed
Workbench" that is an IDE, and I was speaking out of habit. Lacism. The
tendency to think that everybody thinks like you do. A common disease. Ah
well.
So yeah, I know quite a bit about JAWS scripting, enough to know that
implementing that kind of aid using JAWS script would be a very doable
project. And, it should be even easier to write a pybon UI that cleaned up
the __dict__ presentation, and made it conveniently reviewable.
So, there are lots of good ways to skin this. It seems like a thing that
would really help newbies learn the language. Just a way to quickly and
easily review a list of the options available for the current context. And,
we could establish a place on the net where we could each deposit little
definitions of classes we needed, but didn't have, and so looked it up the
hard way, and encoded the definition for our own use, and decided to just
publish it. Anybody else, when they encounter that class, and don't have
it, our little utility would check the network stash, and see your
definition, and make it available. Very groovy.
Let's do it.
