1 | Guido van Rossum, as well as being the creator of the Python language, is the |
2 | original creator of IDLE. Other contributors prior to Version 0.8 include | |
3 | Mark Hammond, Jeremy Hylton, Tim Peters, and Moshe Zadka. | |

5 | IDLE's recent development has been carried out in the IDLEfork project. | |
6 | The objective was to develop a version of IDLE which had an execution | |
7 | environment which could be initialized prior to each run of user code. | |
8 | ||
9 | The IDLEfork project was initiated by David Scherer, with some help from Peter | |
10 | Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley. David wrote the first version of the RPC | |
11 | code and designed a fast turn-around environment for VPython. Guido developed | |
12 | the RPC code and Remote Debugger currently integrated in IDLE. Bruce Sherwood | |
13 | contributed considerable time testing and suggesting improvements. | |
14 | ||
15 | Besides David and Guido, the main developers who have been active on IDLEfork | |
16 | are Stephen M. Gava, who implemented the configuration GUI, the new | |
17 | configuration system, and the About dialog, and Kurt B. Kaiser, who completed | |
18 | the integration of the RPC and remote debugger, implemented the threaded | |
19 | subprocess, and made a number of usability enhancements. | |

21 | Other contributors include Raymond Hettinger, Tony Lownds (Mac integration), | |
22 | Neal Norwitz (code check and clean-up), and Chui Tey (RPC integration, debugger | |
23 | integration and persistent breakpoints). | |
