Personally, I don't edit source files in IDLE - I use SciTE or another
editor for that. IDLE is, to me, an interactive Python session and
nothing more. I find it better than command-line Python because it
recalls entire blocks of code; it's not a superior editor to one that
can do every language I want all in one window.
