I intend to improve the IDLE doc section on IDLE-console differences.
The following is from standard interactive mode (PSF CPython 3.7.0a4) on
Windows (Win 10, Command Prompt)
>>> def f():
... return 1/0
...
>>> f()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 2, in f
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
Each statement is given the same pseudofile name, "<stdin>", lines are
numbered within each statement, and the code line is not printed. As
far as I remember, this has been the same on Windows since forever,
though only current versions are relevant to current docs.
Is the above also the same on other systems (linux, Mac)? I would like
to know before I say so ;-).
By comparison, IDLE prints
>>> def f():
return 1/0
>>> f()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
f()
File "<pyshell#2>", line 2, in f
return 1/0
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
Each statememt has a different pseudofile name (pyshell is the name
IDLE's shell module) and the code lines are displayed just as when
running from a real file.
