`IDLE <http://docs.python.org/library/idle.html>`_ is an integrated
220+
development environment that is part of Python standard library. It is
221+
completely written in Python and uses Tkinter GUI toolkit. Though IDLE
222+
is not suited for full-blown development using Python , it is quite
223+
helpful to try out small Python snippets and experiment with different
224+
features in Python.
225+
226+
It provides following features:
227+
228+
* Python Shell Window (interpreter)
229+
* Multi window text editor that colorizes Python code
230+
* Minimal debugging facility
