[Edu-sig] Python Shell - was: RE: IDLE's save-before-run r equirement

[Patrick K. O'Brien]

Well, the current IDLE is 0.8. So any difference in the Shell capability
between 0.5 and 0.8 are going to show up. And if VPython remains at 0.5 this
will become more of an issue over time. And if the Edu sig decides to do a
IDLE Tutorial fork then we are just making things worse, imo. I just can't
help feeling that these IDLE variants are not a very good thing because they
are complete forks and not just add-ons or plug-ins. On the other hand, you
are correct that the differences right now between the IDLE and VPython
shells is minor or possibly even nonexistent.

Should VPython really be included here?  When I ask for shell
mode in VPython, I get IDLE 0.5.  VPython is a variant on IDLE
is all, not a whole other IDE.
