hey everybody! first of all thanks for a fun, lightweight, friendly ide. I'm just poking around using Python as a way to learn basic coding, and idle is a fun place to do work.
I'm seeing a problem when I right-click and then hit F5 to run the program, where the first time I run the program it works fine, but subsequent runs fail. I'm using the pygame module and windowsXP. For example, a font I'm trying to render with pygame, first time renders fine, subsequent runs error that the font has no width. Opening the file via the executeable works fine. Doing some research, I noticed this on the pygame.org page: "On Windows if you open a python file with a "right-click: Edit with Idle" the editor and interactive prompt both run from the same Python process." http://www.pygame.org/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions Is there a way to use the right-click option and save the F5 runs spawn a new python process? anyhow. . . thanks!
