Reduced clarity of separation between input and output lines.
Since I haven't seen the new presentation yet, I'm still on 3.8, I can't really comment. Cound output lines not easily be made more (or less) prominent by a simple change of font/colour? It sounds like it should be easy to fix if a problem. > 2. Increased indentation of outputs reduces horizontal screen > real-estate, which is an issue for examples in presentations and books. I can sympathise with this since my recent book on curses had to be formatted to fit the narrow pages on a kindle and at times I was reduced to 2-space indents etc. But I don't think Idle should be constrained too much by that. It's certainly not something that beginners are going to care about. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list IDLE-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
