It's not about IDLE's text editing capability, which is perfectly fine.
It's about IDLE mangling your program's execution due to IDLE being
written in Python itself. It's often the case your program would run
fine inside IDLE but crashes badly outside; that's why if you need to
use IDLE, test your program in command line as well. Otherwise you're
going to be surprised.
