[issue4832] idle filename extension

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

The behavior (for Windows) I expect and would like is that the default extension would be .py, .txt, or nothing, depending on the selection in the 'save as type' box in the SaveAS dialog. (.pyw, being rare, would have to be explicitly typed.) Of course, doubled extensions like .py.py should be avoided. I believe other apps on Windows do something like this, but I should check.

I have no idea how the other systems differ.
