`IDLE <http://docs.python.org/library/idle.html>`_ is an integrated
development environment that is part of Python standard library. It is
completely written in Python and uses Tkinter GUI toolkit. Though IDLE
is not suited for full-blown development using Python , it is quite
helpful to try out small Python snippets and experiment with different

It provides following features:

* Python Shell Window (interpreter)
* Multi window text editor that colorizes Python code
* Minimal debugging facility
