On Ubuntu timing was:

Python 2.6.5:  23.8sec
Python 2.7rc2: 32.7sec
Python 3.1.2:  32.3sec

Re: [Python-Dev] Removing IDLE from the standard library

[Miki Tebeka]

Hello Tal,

> I would like to propose removing IDLE from the standard library.
-1.
One of the biggest "selling points" for me when switching to python was the
"out of the box" working IDE with REPL, syntax highliting and a debugger.
The only other candidate I think of to replace IDLE might be IPython. However
for novice users who are not used to command line it might be too intimidating.

There are my others IDEs out there, some better some worse. However IMO
to have one bundled with Python is highly important.

I use IDLE on Ubuntu 64bit and before that on OS X 64 bit, never had a
problem. Can you give
some examples on what do you mean by "cross-platform support"?

See the "grouper" example in http://docs.python.org/library/itertools.html
