* In the File Save dialog, the suggested filename should be "untitled.py"
rather than "Untitled.py". This would reflect our modern module naming
conventions. Ideally, it should warn against unimportable names like "Intro
Lesson -- Wednesday.py"
* For Mac users, a fresh install of Python from python.org comes without
certificates installed. Immediately, people will get an inscrutable error
message when they try to use urlopen('http://www.python.org').read(). The
recommended solution is to use the Finder to locate Python3.7 under
Applications and then run the Install Certificates command. It would be great
if we could do this directly from IDLE so that people don't have to leave the
environment to get Python to be minimally functionally for internet access.
* Another feature request that has been open for a long time is a window to
interact with pip. We need very little, a "pip freeze" to show what is
installed, and a "pip install -U" option to install or upgrade a package. It
is not a good beginner experience to have to leave the IDLE environment and
brave the BASH command-line or Windows command-line (with its attendant pathing
issues) just to install requests or pyflakes.
* There has also been a long standing open request to have a hot key to run
linting or code formatting tools directly from IDLE. For beginners, it is too
painful to have to try to coordinate between these command line tools and the
IDLE editing environment. Some basic integration of the two seems like it
would be a straight-forward task.
