Sure, that make perfect sense.

OK, I'm probably the wrong person to assess that.

So it seems that a old Unix-style Python program which reads from
stdin (or a file or a tty) and writes to stdout would be difficult to
explain to someone who has never used a command line.  And there's
essentially no way to get Idle started without using a command line.
