[issue6698] IDLE no longer opens only an edit window when configured to do so

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

Keep in mind that, on OS X, there are two ways to invoke IDLE: one, by command line in a terminal window, and, two, by launching IDLE.app (explicitly, say by double-clicking on the app icon, or implictily, say by double-clicking on a .py file where IDLE.app is the default application for that file type).  With IDLE.app there is no opportunity for the user to specify command line options.  I suspect that on OS X IDLE.app is used far more frequently than the command line.
