[issue33000] IDLE Doc: Text consumes unlimited RAM, consoles likely not

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Roger, John may have run IDLE rather than IDLEX.  This issue is about documenting the fact that tk Texts do not throw away lines, and will accept text until there are memory problems.  (Command Prompt, for instance, only keeps the last N lines, where N defaults to 300 (not enough to see a test suite run) and is max 9999.)
