Yes, I do. The following is with IDLE 1.0.3 and Python 2.3.4 on WinXP.
Without the line in PyShell.py:
IDLE 1.0.3 ==== No Subprocess ====
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'main']
With the line in PyShell.py:
IDLE 1.0.3 ==== No Subprocess ====
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'main', 'os']
>>> os
<module 'os' from 'C:\Python23\lib\os.pyc'>
I know nothing about the details of how IDLE work. All I know is what I
have reported here. I was simply inspired by the following remark from
Claudio Grondi up-thread:
> edit the first lines of %SystemDrive%\Python24\Lib\idlelib\PyShell.py
I guess that PyShell.py is imported as a module by IDLE at startup.
One thought, though: Du you have more than one Python installed? If so:
Could it be that you are editing the wrong PyShell.py?
