Great! We really someone with hands-on experience.

Have you verified that Idle *does* (not just *should*) run on RPi? 
(That would mean having tcl/tk running, with whatever *it* requires on 
linux.) I am working on Idle and the idea of people (especially 
hobbyists, students, and other amateurs) running it on microsystems 
would really please me.

Answering questions, sometimes after experiment and research, is a great 
way to learn.
