I can say that more clearly. The backspace feature for ending a block does not
work in IDLE when attempting to end a block that had no indentation. Example:
>>> if a < 4:
a = 0 # Assume this is end of the 'if' block; that you want to
# return to column 1, in line below the 'i'. The use of
# BACKSPACE in IDLE will fail to achieve the desired
# result and will cause ERROR.
Another example:
>>> if a < 4:
a = 0
while b < 7:
a = a + b # Assume this is end of 'while' block; that
# you want next line to begin directly below
# the 'w'. Use of BACKSPACE in IDLE will
# work correctly. But if you ultimately want
# to end the initial 'if' block, BACKSPACE
# will again fail and result in ERROR.
