Can you explain this a bit more? I've been using the CLI python.exe on
Windows, Mac, and Linux for years and I don't know what you're talking
about.
I gave examples in my response to the original post: ^C,^V do not work
(but do in IDLE); the output buffer cannot even hold the entire
'help(str)' response (IDLE can, and much more) ; by default, print()
cannot even print all latin-1 chars, let alone the BMP (IDLE will at
least print a box for the entire BMP); CP is frozen in time 30 years
ago, while IDLE is being maintained and modernized.
