Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I agree. Go ahead. But what do you think of applying to 2.7 and or 3.2? I want to add a sentence to Idle help, which I want to edit for the tooltips issue also. But that is not a rush. -- ___ Python tracker

Ned Deily added the comment: As usual, there seem to be small but significant differences among the implementations. Testing with the three OS X Tk implementations shows that currently: 1. Aqua Tk 8.5 and Aqua Tk 8.4 do not supply a default extension when saving. With patch issue4832.diff ap

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I tested with defaultextension='' on Windows and it works well. If no extension is entered (no '.' in name), .py or .txt is added for the .py/w and .txt filetype choices. If there is a . in the name, nothing is added. If one wants x.y.py, one must type the wh

Roger Serwy added the comment: I was unable to produce the crash that Pavel described in msg87703. Just adding "defaultextension=''" solves this issue for Windows and still preserves the correct behavior on Linux. Amaury's quote of tcl/tk documentation in msg87695 mentions this as well. I

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: The behavior (for Windows) I expect and would like is that the default extension would be .py, .txt, or nothing, depending on the selection in the 'save as type' box in the SaveAS dialog. (.pyw, being rare, would have to be explicitly typed.) Of course, doubl

Tal Einat added the comment: On Windows, I can't think of any common reason to want to save a file edited in IDLE without the .py extension. On the other hand, accidentally forgetting the .py extension is annoying, and users have come to expect a default extension being added by applications

[issue4832] idle filename extension

New submission from Pavel Kosina : There should not be necessity to write filename *with extension* at the saving dialog. It should be enough, at least on Windows, to put there just "hello" and get "hello.py". It is really complication especially for beginners. If they, as they are used to from a
