This is just a quick report after a brief test. I just **love** the way the
prompt is now shown. I am convinced that beginners will be much less
confused with understanding indentation when using IDLE.

I also did a quick test with friendly (formally known as
friendly-traceback) and can happily report that support for custom
excepthook appears to have been unaffected by the latest changes.

I will do more testing in the near future (and likely do a brief demo
during a presentation at the upcoming PyCon Education Summit). I do not
plan to report further on this list unless I find problems.

Thank you all for the work done to constantly improve IDLE.
