| The Shell menu is missing from the menu bar in the Edit Window of Ubuntu Linux IDLE. It is described in the help but is not implemented. It is there is the various windows versions I've seen. Why is this missing and will it be fixed? |

| Running IDLE from the Applications menu under Ubuntu will not have the Shell menu. If you bring up a terminal and enter "idle", you will have the Shell menu. IDLE, when selected from the Application menu, is being run with the "-n" command line by default in Ubuntu. You can remove this option by editing the menu item for IDLE. |

| Thank you. I tried it from the command line and you are right. IDLE runs with the Shell menu. 1.Do you know why this is being done in Ubuntu? That is, why are they setting up the menu this way? 2. Is it a bug or a "feature?" Should be reported a an Ubuntu bug? How do I edit the IDLE menu item?

| You'll need to modify the IDLE menu item to remove the "-n" using Ubuntu's menu modification tool, usually found under System->Preferences. Presently, using a subprocess only allows for one instance of IDLE running on a machine, whereas running with no subprocess allows for many instances of IDLE. This architecture is by design. Check out Ubuntu bug 338379. |

| Again, thanks for your prompt explanation. It's odd, but when I went to use Ubuntu's menu modification tool, the command displayed in the dialog didn't show the -n option. But when I added the Python launcher to the panel and viewed the launch command via the properties dialog, the -n was there and I was easily able to remove it. So if I run Python from the modified icon in the panel, it launches without the -n option. But if I run it from the Application Menu, it runs without the -n option. It seems to me that the -n option should be available when viewing it from the menu modification tool, but it's not. I guess Windows doesn't have this problem with running IDLE with a subprocess. I was able to run several instances of the IDLE shell with the Shell menu displayed.

| From what I read here this is not a problem caused by the sources distributed by python.org, so I'm closing this. It seems more appropriate to move this to Ubuntu's bug tracker. |
