You raised three issues.
1. If you run IDLE from a console (Command Prompt or Powershell) you will see
the no-save cause.
C:\Users\Terry>py -m idlelib.idle
Exception in Tkinter callback
...
File "C:\Programs\Python27\lib\idlelib\IOBinding.py", line 433, in encode
config_encoding = idleConf.GetOption("main","EditorWindow",
NameError: global name 'idleConf' is not defined
This a bug I introduced into 2.7.11 and have already fixed in the repository
(hence 'out of date'). The line above is only executed when there are
non-ascii chars, which is why saving worked before you added the non-ascii char.
To get the fix now, in your copy of IOBinding.py, move the line
from idlelib.configHandler import idleConf
in "def _io_binding" near the bottom of the file to the end of the imports near
the top. Remove the indent before saving.
2. #21140 is about making the default for mixed code and text files .txt
instead of .py.
3. The insertion of /n into the Shell text widget when saving it seems like a
bug. I opened #26353 for this.
