IDLE is very much not improved on Windows. I installed 64-bit Python 3.4
Alpha 2 on Windows 7:

python-3.4.0a2.amd64.msi

I started up IDLE and examined the IDLE configuration options. I set and
applied Startup Preferences to Open Shell Window and Autosave Preferences
to No Prompt. There were no detailed options for Run options introduced by
Guilleherme Polo (If file has never been saved, Prompt to Save or No
prompt; If file has been saved before Prompt to Save or no prompt; On first
error Bring shell forward or Do nothing).

I created a new edit window and wrote a tiny test program and tried to run
by pressing F5. As expected but not desired, I was required to save the
file, which I did. The IDLE window immediately quit. If I restart IDLE I
now start in an edit window, but when I try to open a file IDLE immediately
quits.
