History
=======
IdleX started as a set of extensions in 2008, beginning with my first Python
patch: [issue2704](https://bugs.python.org/issue2704) (which is still open).
I packaged and released a set of extensions in 2011, working on top of IDLE
that shipped with Python 2.6 and 3.2.
[PEP434](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0434/) allowed for IDLE to receive
updates without the strict requirements of a standard library module.
Python 3.6 contained a patch which renamed the internals of `idlelib` (see [issue24225](https://bugs.python.org/issue24225)), which required IdleX to become a fork from the 3.5 branch.
