Which has just reminded me of this http://idlex.sourceforge.net/ which 
is available from pypi, with the last update dated 2014-06-02.

I'll quote from the sourceforge page "IdleX is a collection of over 
twenty extensions and plugins that provide additional functionality to 
IDLE, a Python IDE provided in the standard library. It transforms IDLE 
into a more useful tool for academic research and development as well as 
exploratory programming.
IdleX runs with Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.x."

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask 
what you can do for our language.
