Upendra, Lorenzo is doing your midterm evaluation.

3.6.0a3 is scheduled for 7/11.  A week before that, I would like to see a patch posted here that I could potentially commit.  Work out the details of what to include with Lorenzo.  The patch should include adding yourself alphabetically (currently between Adnan Umer and
Roger Upole) to misc.ACKS.  It could include a patch for the idlelib section of docs/whatsnew.rst.  It should not include the misc.NEWS entry.  You could instead post suggested text for both here.

The patch should include some automated tests, but I know that some will be tricky.  A suggested protocol for human testing, posted here, can initially substitute for some automated tests.  Start by writing down, if you have not already, an outline of what you do to test your code, and what I might do to verify that it works.

I am working on an IDLE patch that already includes the sort of end-to-end testing I have talked about: enter data into gui, simulate 'go' click, and then check final result.  I will post the new issue number when there is something to look at.
