Guido is working hard to close the gap <wink>.

The current CVS IDLE has distinct "run script" and "import module" cmds.
The former is much closer to pymode C-c C-c, although you still need to
explicitly save the file before running it.  Eventually I suppose it will
grow "run region" etc subcommands too.

Yes, works fine with the new "run script" cmd.  Any output produced by the
script is also written to the shell window -- the separate output windows
are gone.
