5 IDLE's recent development was carried out in the SF IDLEfork project. The
|
|
jpayne@68
|
6 objective was to develop a version of IDLE which had an execution environment
|
|
jpayne@68
|
7 which could be initialized prior to each run of user code.

9 The IDLEfork project was initiated by David Scherer, with some help from Peter
|
|
jpayne@68
|
10 Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley. David wrote the first version of the RPC
|
|
jpayne@68
|
11 code and designed a fast turn-around environment for VPython. Guido developed
|
|
jpayne@68
|
12 the RPC code and Remote Debugger currently integrated in IDLE. Bruce Sherwood
|
|
jpayne@68
|
13 contributed considerable time testing and suggesting improvements.
