Is there a detailed todo list somewhere? I did find this tantalizing bit in news.txt, but when I tried to test it (by setting to option to false), I couldn't get it to work. Is there a set of tests for idle that might exercise this option? ---------- What's New in IDLEfork 0.9b1? ============================= *Release date: 02-Jun-2003* - Added the delete-exitfunc option to config-main.def. (This option is not included in the Options dialog.) Setting this to True (the default) will cause IDLE to not run sys.exitfunc/atexit when the subprocess exits. ------------- Thanks! -steve -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
