Idle's Shell catches all exceptions. I think the attempt to provide an optional help (a function signature) should too.
Can you explain what this means?
What what means? I am not sure what you are asking. The issue might help http://bugs.python.org/issue12510
You should probably not have a bare except
Idle code already has many of them Some perhaps should not be, but I cannot tell with my current level of understanding of how Idle works. Would you prefer 'except BaseException:' ?
I'm not sure what IDLE has to do with it.
This is a patch to Idle.
