Idle is intended for developing code, not running code that you have 
already developed.  (Though there are cases, at least on Windows, where 
it is better for running programs than python in a console.)

In any case, a solution, given is the Idle doc section, is to start Idle 
with the -n option.

python -m idlelib -n

add '-r x.y' to run an existing python file (this is missing from the 
doc section and needs to be added).
