Python within Radio tool

David Brown and I have corresponded a bit. I forgot to mention in my Learning Scripting topic that I have indeed not only downloaded his Python IDE Tool for Radio but ... it works like a charm with Python 2.2! 

While David's IDE can't (and doesn't try to) compete with Python's more-or-less standardly available editor IDLE, David says that he is on the track of some code that might help get him closer to the real goal: (reasonably) direct manipulation of Radio's object database in Python. Yes!

Meanwhile, if you intend to fool around with Python as I have urged, why not do it within Radio using David's Python tool?

(Not so parenthetically, one of Radio's many innovative characteristics is the ease with which developers can add their own tools directly to the Radio platform with a radical minimum of fuss and zero inteference with Radio's own internals).
