This is the second time in a couple of weeks that IDLE has failed to execute code correctly. The first was when I was trying to use msvcrt.getch().

As I explained elsewhere IDLE is being sensible in this case. But...

Whew! Guess I should stick just with the command line for execution of scripts from now on.

...this is one reason why I only use IDLE for testing things out or writing small programs, I tend to use Vim and a DOS box for anything serious, and I know I'm not alone in this.

OTOH I do know Python programmers who live in IDLE quite happily, they learn its foibles and live with them.
