I believe IDLE itself implements the "restart" capability by killing and re-launching its Python interpreter subprocess, so it's not like it's using some hidden capability of Python to accomplish this. Is doing Ctrl+D, up-arrow, Enter really that hard? It's even fewer keystrokes than "restart()"... Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
