- Guido van Rossum, as well as being the creator of the Python language, is the
- original creator of IDLE. Other contributors prior to Version 0.8 include
- Mark Hammond, Jeremy Hylton, Tim Peters, and Moshe Zadka.
- Until Python 2.3, IDLE's development was carried out in the SF IDLEfork project. The
- objective was to develop a version of IDLE which had an execution environment
- which could be initialized prior to each run of user code.
- IDLefork was merged into the Python code base in 2003.
- The IDLEfork project was initiated by David Scherer, with some help from Peter
- Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley. David wrote the first version of the RPC
- code and designed a fast turn-around environment for VPython. Guido developed
- the RPC code and Remote Debugger currently integrated in IDLE. Bruce Sherwood
- contributed considerable time testing and suggesting improvements.
- Besides David and Guido, the main developers who were active on IDLEfork
- are Stephen M. Gava, who implemented the configuration GUI, the new
- configuration system, and the About dialog, and Kurt B. Kaiser, who completed
- the integration of the RPC and remote debugger, implemented the threaded
- subprocess, and made a number of usability enhancements.
- Other contributors include Raymond Hettinger, Tony Lownds (Mac integration),
- Neal Norwitz (code check and clean-up), Ronald Oussoren (Mac integration),
- Noam Raphael (Code Context, Call Tips, many other patches), and Chui Tey (RPC
- integration, debugger integration and persistent breakpoints).
- Scott David Daniels, Tal Einat, Hernan Foffani, Christos Georgiou,
- Jim Jewett, Martin v. Löwis, Jason Orendorff, Guilherme Polo, Josh Robb,
- Nigel Rowe, Bruce Sherwood, Jeff Shute, and Weeble have submitted useful
- patches. Thanks, guys!
