As others have mentioned, don't use idle as you're doing. Give pythonwin (included with the activestate distribution) a try. Or try one of the free versions of Komodo or Wing.
In fact I'd strongly recommend not to use ANY development tool to run your programs. These tools are designed to make life easy while writing code, they are not intended to be used to execute final code. They trap errors, they redirect output, they ignore signals and all manner of things intended to prevent you from having to restart your development tool while developing. But those traps are hiding errors that will crop up in the real world. Always test deployable code in a real, native execution environment - outside the development tool and outside the development folder structure too. Include the installation process (whether automated or manual) in your test. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
