Guido van Rossum eeb88076e7 A lot of changes to make the command line more useful. You can now do:
idle.py -e file ...    -- to edit files
  idle.py script arg ... -- to run a script
  idle.py -c cmd arg ... -- to run a command
Other options, see also the usage message (also new!) for more details:
  -d       -- enable debugger
  -s       -- run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP
  -t title -- set Python Shell window's title
sys.argv is set accordingly, unless -e is used.
sys.path is absolutized, and all relevant paths are inserted into it.

Other changes:
- the environment in which commands are executed is now the __main__ module
- explicitly save sys.stdout etc., don't restore from sys.__stdout__
- new interpreter methods execsource(), execfile(), stuffsource()
- a few small nits

README

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful
while building or extending Python.

bgen		Generate complete extension modules from a
		description.  Still under development!

faqwiz		FAQ Wizard.
		See http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/cgi-bin/faqw.py
		for a live example.

freeze		Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program.

modulator	Interactively generate boiler plate for an extension
		module.  Works easiest if you have Tk.

scripts		A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py
		(by Tim Peters), which checks for inconsistent mixing
		of tabs and spaces.

versioncheck	A tool to automate checking whether you have the latest
		version of a package (by Jack Jansen).

webchecker	A link checker for web sites.
