I'll have to disdagree with you here Luke. IDLE changes script behaviour in quite a number of subtle ways that can lead to strange anomolies. Exceptions which cause programs to crash and burn are caught in IDLE. In particular this causes things like CTRL-C and CTRL-Z to behave differently. Also notoriously, Tkinter code will behave in rather unpredictable ways. The difference is small but big enough that it can confuse beginners. I always recommend that if folks are encountering strange behaviour in IDLE that they try running from a DOS prompt to see what happens.
