I don't use IDLE too much anymore, just for quick tests, but

Just curious. I have tried IDLE, but stopped using it after going
through a few of the tutorials. I just type things in at the 'python'
prompt, regardless of which platform I am working on; Linux, AIX or
Windows. But, then again, my code winds up in a batch process or part
of a web app.

Is there something cool I am missing?

The main plus of idle for me is that in interactive mode I can easily pull
back any single statement (e.g. a complete class definition) edit and then
re-execute it. The command line only pulls back single lines for editing,
not complete statements.

Also the ways to pull back a previous command are simpler. As well as
typing the start of a command then using alt-p to pull it back you can look
through the buffer, put the cursor on a command and hit return to get an
editable copy.
