check if running under IDLE

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I'd like to check a script which needs sys.argv
I haven't seen a method to set this when running the script
in IDLE's shell or editor window.
The only way I've found is to assign (test values)
to sys.argv but only if the script is running under IDLE

Is there a mean either to set sys.argv without modifying
the script or to check if the script is running under IDLE's
control.

Thanks for a hint,
