I think there is something to be said for this. I've gotten confused a few times by accidentally re-using a stdlib name, and I'm experienced. One thing I wish in IDLE is for ctrl-N (or some alternate) to prompt for a filename immediately: opening a new window, then writing code in it, and then using Save-as seems unnatural to me. That would also be a good time to validate the filename, by searching sys.path or whatever. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
