IDLE MENUS
-Top level items and most submenu items are defined in Bindings.
+Top level items and most submenu items are defined in mainmenu.
Extenstions add submenu items when active. The names given are
found, quoted, in one of these modules, paired with a '<<pseudoevent>>'.
Each pseudoevent is bound to an event handler. Some event handlers
call another function that does the actual work. The annotations below
are intended to at least give the module where the actual work is done.

+CODE STYLE -- Generally PEP 8.
+
+import
+------
+Put import at the top, unless there is a good reason otherwise.
+PEP 8 says to group stdlib, 3rd-party dependencies, and package imports.
+For idlelib, the groups are general stdlib, tkinter, and idlelib.
+Sort modules within each group, except that tkinter.ttk follows tkinter.
+Sort 'from idlelib import mod1' and 'from idlelib.mod2 import object'
+together by module, ignoring within module objects.
+Put 'import __main__' after other idlelib imports.
+
+Imports only needed for testing are put not at the top but in an
+htest function def or "if __name__ == '__main__'" clause.
+
+Within module imports like "from idlelib.mod import class" may cause
+circular imports to deadlock. Even without this, circular imports may
+require at least one of the imports to be delayed until a function call.
