I am just starting to learn Python, and I like to use the editor instead of the interactive shell. So I wrote the following little program in IDLE# calculating the mean data1=[49, 66, 24, 98, 37, 64, 98, 27, 56, 93, 68, 78, 22, 25, 11] def mean(data): return sum(data)/len(data) mean(data1) There is no syntax highlighting
If properly installed and working, IDLE does syntax highliting if and only if you name the file with a .py, .pyw, .pyo extension. I have a 'play around' directory with a tem.py file that is always in the recent files lists. I use it for short shippets that are two long to directly type into the shell.
