I wonder why a feature like the Tabbed Document Interface (TDI) is not implemented in IDLE? If the core team is OK for letting contributors to implement such a feature, how to proceed in that direction? Thanks.

The original problem was that tabs were part of the then new ttk widgets in 8.5, which not all distros had. That is no longer an issue. > If the core team is OK for letting contributors to > implement such a feature, how to proceed in that direction? I believe patches exist, though I do not know if there are any on the tracker. At the moment, once I am able to build a development version of tkinter on Windows, or install linux, my priority is patches for bugs. -- -- Terry Jan Reedy
Hi Wassim, This issue has been raised before. See http://bugs.python.org/issue9262 Guilherme Polo wrote a patch in 2008 for a tabbed interface using the (then new) Tk 8.5. The patch would need updating to work with the current code. Also, I wrote a tabbed interface extension for Tk8.4 which is now part of IdleX. See http://idlex.sourceforge.net/ (Note that this extension is a hack to work around the limitations of Tk 8.4 and IDLE's extension interface.) If you have questions about IDLE's internals, please ask. - Roger On 01/14/2012 09:21 AM, Wassim Mansouri wrote: > I wonder why a feature like the Tabbed Document Interface (TDI) is not > implemented in IDLE?
