Not that I'm aware of.  I suggest you check out the bug tracker at 
bugs.python.org as there are a lot of issues against IDLE there.  See 
also IDLEX at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/idlexa and the IDLE mailing 
list at either https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev or 
gmane.comp.python.idle
