That's not really a problem, though. It's not going to stop you from doing something actually *useful*, and the fact that the semicolon could be syntactically valid isn't going to come into it, because the REPL would swallow it anyway. But I agree that IDLE does not need a "drop to shell" mode. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
