Not an IDE, but it's running in an embedded interpreter. Which is why I looked there for issues, but I can't find any. (Checking sys.version and friends shows that it's the same version of Python either way.) I described the embed environment above, in the hopes that someone would spot an "obvious error", and if your instant suspicion is an IDE, then that's probably it.
