Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I usually start repository IDLE with 'import idlelib.idle' in repository console python, which I have pinned to my taskbar. This is at least as faster as entering a command in the console (which would block the console), keeps error messages for one version together in one place and separate from anything else, and leaves my console free to enter other commands.
The import change will make idlelib.idle.main() work to restart IDLE after closing it. Previously, idlelib.idle.idlelib.pyshell.main() was required, which I never did. I marked the import as subject to change, as I intend to move (and edit) much of pyshell.main to idle.py. ---------- versions: +Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25488> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
