Relates to IDEs and not IDLE in specific. I would *never* run
a production program from Eclipse (or any IDE). They tend to
modify things like std in/out/err and add some magic that can
be useful for development/debugging. The problem with the magic
is that it can have unintended consequences; although I suppose
if you wanted a program to *always* be run in a specific IDE
then you could code it to take advantage of the quirks....
