Hey everyone, just a quick general question about using the main python shell (I'm using IDLE on Windows to be exact).
Whenever I print some really long output to the screen (> 3000 characters or so), my shell will start lagging very badly. I'm not sure if the shell keeps some memory dedicated to this already outputted data or what, but either way I can't seme to unlock these resources. Restarting just the shell doesn't help, so I end up having to closing IDLE completely and restarting it. Needless to say, this is a pain when I've got a lot of commands in the shell already I want to repeat because I lose them all. Anyone know of any way to free up these resources without restarting IDLE? Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
