How can it?  It's not IDLE's problem, it's yours.

Finally, we can probably agree that I can continue to use IDLE for editing and syntax checking, but to "guarantee" successful execution of the program, I can just double-click on the py file in my folder. Perhaps there is a better way than clicking on it in the folder.

Typing at a command prompt.

For example, putting it on the desktop.

This causes an extra file read as Windows indirects through the desktop
link.  It's unlikely to be a noticeable delay at startup, but I'd
hesitate to call it "better".

As I look at the folder, previous copies only differ by a digit, I can easily find myself executing an earlier version, differing as Dev4, to Dev5 at the end of each name.

I'd suggest spending a while reading up on version control systems.

See my response to Scott. Thanks for your reply.
