## What does this extension do?

This IDLE extension patches IDLE to be able to properly load extensions

from the user configuration directory (`~/.idlerc/config-extensions.cfg`)

instead of forcing you to modify the root extension file.

## Installation

1) Go to terminal and install with `pip install idleuserextend`.

2) Run command `idleuserextend`. You should see the

following output: `Config should be good!`.

4) Open IDLE, go to `Options` -> `Configure IDLE` -> `Extensions`.

If everything went well, alongside `ZzDummy` there should be and

option called `idleuserextend`. All extensions are now able to load

from the user extension configuration file alone, no need to modify

`config-extensions.def` in `/usr/lib/python3.XX/idlelib` anymore!

## Information on options

`enable` toggles whether the extension is active or not.
