IDLE can be rewrited using wxPython?

Notes:
	Newest versions of wxPython include the scintilla control that's
used in PythonWin's editor.
	There is a project (Boa Constructor) to create a wxPython IDE,
adapting that to your needs (in concert with Riaan and Robin) might be more
appropriate than attempting to rewrite IDLE.  Boa aims at also providing GUI
editing (though of the static dialog/form type, rather than the more common
dynamically-expanding-packed-widgets form last I looked (I haven't seen any
support for editing placers, would love to be wrong)).  Boa has been largely
a personal project up to now (i.e. Riaan is the only listed developer,
progress seems to go forward when he has the time to work on it).  Maybe
it's time to start putting some tasks on the list and getting people applied
to them?

Enjoy,
Mike

Sure. But not an easy task, replacing a GUI toolkit is always
a pain. Also it seems that the text widget is better in tk than
in wx.
