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.
