[Tutor] Saving session in IDLE

Could you not rewrite idle to store each typed line into a file. Keeping the
file open as you work. Then with a specific command, like exit, you are
asked whether or not to save the file?

Basically have all of the commands sitting in a que waiting to be dumped to
file after you exit?

Thanks.

P.S. One other option would be to take a little Tkinter/Python shell script
I wrote and tweak it for your own use, (but I would like to see all the
improvements people come up with just to see the evolution of the program):

#!/usr/bin/env python

from Tkinter import *
import os
import commands
import sys
import tkSimpleDialog

class PyShell:
    
    def clearin(self):
        self.t1.delete(0.0,END)
    def clearout(self):
        self.t2.delete(0.0,END)
    def expyth(self):
        self.t2.delete(0.0, END)
        self.output = commands.getoutput("/sw/bin/python -c '%s'" %
self.t1.get(0.0, END).strip())
        self.t2.insert(END, self.output)
    def doSave(self):
        SaveDialog = Saving(self.f)
        filename = SaveDialog.getName()
        self.saveText(filename)
        del(saveDialog)
    def __init__(self, top):
        self.t1 = Text(top, height="12", width="84", font="Courier 12")
        self.t1.pack(side=TOP, pady=2)
        self.f = Frame(top)
        self.f.pack()
        self.b1 = Button(self.f, text="Execute", command=self.expyth)
        self.b1.pack(side=LEFT)
        self.b2 = Button(self.f, text="Clear Input", command=self.clearin)
        self.b2.pack(side=LEFT)
        self.b3 = Button(self.f, text="Clear Output", command=self.clearout)
        self.b3.pack(side=LEFT)
        self.b4 = Button(self.f, text="Save Input", command=self.doSave)
        self.b4.pack(side=LEFT)
        self.t2 = Text(top, height="12", width="84", bg="lightblue",
font="Courier 12")
        self.t2.pack(side=TOP, pady=2)

class Saving(tkSimpleDialog.Dialog):
    
    def body(self, master):
        Label(master, text="Directory:").grid(row=0)
        Label(master, text="Filename:").grid(row=1)
        self.e1 = Entry(master)
        self.e2 = Entry(master)
        self.e1.grid(row=0, column=1)
        self.e2.grid(row=1, column=1)
        return self.e1
    def apply(self):
        dir = self.e1.get()
        fn = self.e2.get()
        self.name = dir + fn
    def getName(self):
        return self.name

                   
root = Tk()
app = PyShell(root)
root.mainloop()
