New submission from Mark Summerfield <m...@qtrac.eu>: My suggestion is to add somewhere in the configuration dialog when users can enter a block of Python code to be executed at startup and whenever Restart Shell is executed.
Use case: for people who use IDLE for calculations/experiments they might like to always have certain module imported. For me personally, it would be: import os import re import sys from math import * but of course the whole point is that people can write any code they like. (Some people might want to do various from __future__ imports in Python 2.6 to get various Python 3 features for example.) I know that you can use the -c option, but that only works at startup, not every time you Restart Shell. ---------- components: IDLE messages: 84367 nosy: mark severity: normal status: open title: IDLE startup configuration type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5594> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
