Greeting Everyone. First of all I want to introduce my self Adnan Umer as a student of bachelors in Information Technology.


I’ve few suggestions on improving IDLE. Here are few:

On windows we can open any python file from context menu because IDLE is not a application. I recommends to create a simple executable that  just calls ‘idle.pyw’ module in lib\idlelib.


On executing python script with IDLE we can’t determine which file is executed. I recommends to print file name before executing. I made a little try to do that and I succeed.


In Python Shell Save & Save As menus are enable and using them we can save shell text as python script (.py) that never executes again on IDLE. I recommends to either disable this option or save shell text as plain text. I made a little try to disable this and succeed.


There is almost no difference on displayed result of these two command




>>> print (1)

1

>>> 1

1


there must be some difference as this creates a lot of confusion for beginners to understand purpose of print statement.
