Thanks.

Sorry, I meant python file, which is set as a node in Leo. Nothing opens in 
Idle. Idle does not open at all on selection of this option. I just want a 
quick way to run my __init__.py file, a node. At present I have to open it 
from the Idle menu. Or more conveniently, I use Eclipse -- but I want to 
give Leo a go, which is why I'm here.

Is that a function on Leo? Maybe something I should look into.

You're welcome. I was hoping they'd be taken not just as complaints, but 
things which a newcomer to Leo is likely to encounter, likely to put off 
other potential users, which should be fixed if it's a goal for Leo to gain 
wider adoption. But I understand that development resources are limited, 
and this may not be a priority.
