|How about checking your working (and home directory for unix} for an
|"idlerc.py" on Unix and if so, run it.
Sounds good, but IDLE doesn't support it.
|Problem with .idlerc is it's very Unix-ish and wouldn't fit in on Win32,
|whereas an INI file or Registry is very Windows-ish and not very Unix.
True, though NT has homedirs for users I believe, on MSWin FAT FS (and VFAT
too IIRC) can't handle files beginnning with dot.
|Compromise? :-)
Hmm. Well, maybe we don't need too. IDLE is a Tk app, right? Why not use
the Tk mechanisms for specifying resources? On UNIX, that translates into
.Xdefaults. On MSWin, that's tk.tcl file (according to Brent Welch in his
Tcl/Tk book). The difference is abstracted by Tk and the app code is the
same.
