I agree with you, generally.
But there are over 600 million people who speak a RTL language. About
12% of the world's population. I'd like Python's command line console
to work for them.
It may be worth making a special effort, and breaking a general rule,
here. But we'd have to think carefully about it, and have expert help.
I'm beginning to think that, as well as (instead of?) IDLE, a browser
based Python command line console might be a good idea. For example,
I'm getting reasonable results from using
https://brython.info/tests/editor.html?lang=en
Perhaps RTL and LTR problems by themselves are not sufficient reason
to make a browser-based IDLE. But they should be a significant
influence. Something to think about.
By the way, IDLE has the same problem.
