[issue21140] Idle: saving an OutputWindow should default to .txt

Raymond, I open #21152 with your idea. #11838 and #19042 are somewhat related 
but timed autosave is not a part of either.

Attaching a patch.
The file type on OutputWIndow defaults to .txt. Can be very easily made to 
default to none aswell.

Tested on linux for 2.7 and 3.4.(Debian Wheezy, Gnome 3)


On 2.7, made changes so that ispythonsource(in EditorWindow) behaves similar to 
3.4(in EditorWindow)

On both 2.7 and 3.4, made change to ispythonsource(in OutputWindow), to make it 
return False instead of 0(to mirror behavior in EditorWindow)

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

FWIW, students commonly save shell sessions as a record of everything they 
tried in call.  It would nice if there were a way to trigger a periodic 
autosave (perhaps every five minutes or so).

[issue21140] Idle: saving an OutputWindow should default to .txt

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

If possible, when saving an instance of an OutputWindow, the file type should 
default to .txt (or possibly even nothing) instead of .py. At present, 
OutputWindows are only used for Find in Files (grep) output, which is very much 
not Python code. The same should be true of any other OutputWindow uses, which 
I except there will be, making OutputWindow saves more common.

A patch should be tested and verified on Mac, Linux, and Windows.
