Tal Einat <talei...@gmail.com> added the comment: My question is, when IDLE is run without arguments (as is the case for IDLE.app), what is the benefit opening an empty editor window as opposed to a shell window?
In both cases if you just want to edit a file you must open it via the menus (e.g. File->Open or File->Recent Files), and an unused window is left open. On the other hand, if you do want a shell, having an empty editor window is useless. Therefore I think in this case it is always better to open a shell window. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6698> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
