RE: [Pythoncard-users] an IDLE clone (PythonCard IDE, wxIDLE...)

If you examine an object in the PyCrust namespace tree you will see that it
is easy to get the source code for a particular method of an object. So it
wouldn't be impossible to do a VB-like edit-the-code-behind-the-object IDE
environment. Or at least position the user on the relevant starting point in
the code file. (Which Kevin's FindFiles app already does as well.)
