[Idle-dev] Intentions?

[Patrick K. O'Brien]

I have a feature request related to this. I'm on Win98 and I've set up an
association between .py files and IDLE, so that I can right click on a .py
file and select "Edit in IDLE" from the popup menu. When I select that
option, I get two open windows for every file that I open this way: a shell
window and a file window. When I open three or four files this way it
results in an awful lot of open shell windows, none of which I need in this
case - I just want to edit the file and get out. So maybe an option that I
could add to my IDLE laucher that would only open the file, and not a shell,
would help. Here is what I use now. Maybe it could be improved and I just
don't know how:

C:\Python21\pythonw.exe C:\Python21\Tools\idle\idle.pyw -e "%1" %*

Thanks, Guido, for your commentary on the issues. And making shell/new file
startup be configurable is a nice way to satisfy competing needs and
desires.
