New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com>:
The squeezed text is impairing IDLE's usability for teaching purposes. Typing
help() on any built-in type such as str immediately results in a squeeze-button
rather than displaying help. The same is true for showing lines from a file
read or from a URL.
I recommend showing the first 50 to 100 lines and then squeezing the remainder.
Also, I think this may be the logic that is slowing down successive print calls
in a loop. Try running:
for i in range(500):
print(i, sep=' ')
or even:
for i in range(500):
print(i, i**2)
The output has noticeably slow delays between successive print() calls.
