Ok here is the deal.... Since I sometimes need to run multiple instances of idle in the same shell,so I use the -n switch by default:
8<------------------------------------------------------------ [removed~u...@removed~host ~]# idle --help Error: option --help not recognized USAGE: idle [-deins] [-t title] [file]* idle [-dns] [-t title] (-c cmd | -r file) [arg]* idle [-dns] [-t title] - [arg]* -h print this help message and exit -n run IDLE without a subprocess (see Help/IDLE Help for details) 8<------------------------------------------------------------ So To complete Simons suggestion about idle, Do not use the -n switch on idle when playing with SQLAlchemy.....
