Claudia, thanks for this:
N++ is better than Python idle because each line of code in N++ is numbered, whereas idle in not. That makes it difficult to troubleshoot a file with 1000 lines of code.
Great, I did not know about that plug-in.
A lot of people use lmddgfy sarcastically, but that link you sent me helped me a lot because I am not familiar enough with idle to determine the keywords for a ddg search.
Thanks!
