I answered: > Yes, I do. [snip details] I have to step back a bit. IDLE seems to work differently depending on how it is started. My comments above hold when I start IDLE by right-clicking on a python-file and choosing "Edit with IDLE". If I instead start IDLE itself (from the windows start-menu) I get the same behaviour as you do, namely no os around. Another difference, which I've noted before is that shell restart is only available when IDLE has been started this way. All this seems to be handled in PyShell.py, but I do not have the time to trace that in any detail. Regards /MiO -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
