Completely accepted for my part. It actually clears up why we couldn't
understand each other - we were discussing different questions. As to
part 2, I would tend to come down more on the conservative side myself.

I agree, actually. I would say it's just one of IDLE's shortcomings, but
I've noticed it as well. This lack of ability to run a script with
parameters makes IDLE much less useful for intermediate programmers as
well. Add to that IDLE's general quirkiness (esp. on Windows), a few
stray bugs, and it is definitely not helping the cause.
