Cherniavsky Beni <c...@users.sf.net> added the comment: Editing a block of code from inside the config dialog (and storing it in the config file?) seems a bad idea because you lose all the power of the normal IDLE editor.
Instead, you should edit the startup code in the editor, save it to a file and point the IDLESTARTUP or PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable to it (http://docs.python.org/library/idle.html#startup). [Unfortunately, these envvars currently don't work after restart; http://bugs.python.org/issue5233 has patches to fix that.] What does make sense is having a way to set the startup file from the config dialog, instead of environment variables. I suspect nobody cares enough to implement this if you don't. ---------- nosy: +cben _______________________________________ 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
