I've been programming in python for a few years using XEmacs on Solaris and Linux. I've been thinking about trying IDLE for a long time, but either it wasn't available on my system or I procrastinated. I finally have it available, and I gave it a try.
I immediately encountered a basic problem for which I could not find a solution in the intro docs. I want to run a script in one directory that reads input from a file in another directory. Maybe I'm just not very smart, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Will someone please give me a clue? More generally, I don't see much discussion of IDLE on this newsgroup. Are many python programmers using it? I see that some of the intro and tutorial docs have not been updated for several years. Is IDLE still actively supported? Or would I be better off just going directly to a commercially supported IDE such as Wing? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
