     In Python Shell Save & Save As menus are enable and using them we

We will not disable being able to save the shell window.
http://bugs.python.org/issue11838 is about saving in runnable form.

If IDLE saves the shell history to a file with a .py extension by
default, that is indeed confusing. It is useful to be able to save the
history to a file, but it shouldn't have a .py extension.

I agree: if shell window is saved as is, as logfile, as at present, the default should be .txt. #21140 is about changing default for Output Window; same method will work shell. Issue above is really about adding a second save option.
