As a former IDLE user, I highly, highly recommend you take a week or two and commit to learning emacs or vim (I recommend emacs...). It can be daunting but once you get used to it you'll wonder how the hell you ever accomplished anything in IDLE. (If you decide to take the plunge with emacs, hit me up via email [it's in my profile] and I'll send you a link to my config file.)
