IDLE also now works perfectly, whether I open into IDLE or edit
window.
Below is a copy/paste:
IDLE 2.6
>>> i = 9
>>> while i > 2:
print i
i -= 1
The problem occurs when you go to a second level block:
if 42 > 66:
print 'false'
else:
print 'true'
Whjat happens is a beginner will try to align the else with the if as
shown
in the text books etc anmd get an error from IDLE. Whereas if IDLE
provided the ... secondary prompt it would look like:
if 42 > 66:
... print 'false'
... else:
... print 'true'
Which matches the text books.
