Can I somehow in config-main.cfg set how big shall (and where) open the
IDLE window? Cause in my w98 it is always opening so that I can not see
the bottom line....

hi kosina although i am new to this list as well, please CC to the
python list as well. That way not only 'we' but everyone benefits.

Thanks a lot. Could you help me once more with beginners question?
In IDLE, when saving a file, I have to always add .py to to name. Otherwise
it didnt work then.
Could it also be somehow automatically?

I don't really understand what you mean by 'automatically' but i
tried the following in my machine :

test ( i didn't put .py as extension to test)
*****
print "Hello";

Then at the prompt i did
python test

hello

It seems that it works for me both at the prompt (using Python
interpreter as well as in IDLE's Run > Run Module (F5)

I have IDLE 1.0.2.

IDLE 1.1 is pretty good. If you have chance grab it

Hi Pavel,

I had the same issue with IDLE 1.03 running on Python 2.3.4 with WinMe.
(Please pity me.)

Yesterday I installed Python 2.4, and the included version of IDLE (1.1)
has solved this for me. Try Menu->Options->Configure IDLE->General
tab->Initial Window size. That option never did anything for me with
IDLE 1.03, but with 1.1, works like a charm.

HTH,
