In https://bugs.python.org/issue21192, I changed the label from a constant >>> ===================================RESTART======================= to a more imformative >>> =============================== RESTART Shell ========================= >>> ====================== RUN C:\Programs\Python34\tem.py ================= 'output from tem.py' >>> Raymond Hettinger, in a message near the end, after the ACKS commit, says that some people found the change 'confusing'. I've posted a patch to change the above to >>> =============================== RESTART: Shell ========================= >>> ================ RESTART: C:\Programs\Python34\tem.py ================= 'output from tem.py' >>> Any bikeshed opinions before I commit this? When I did the original patch I was not thinking about a) When running Idle in one process with -n, 'Run Module F5' does not restart the shell, but rather, it runs the file in the current session. b) We might want to add the ability to do this (Run in Session) even when running with a subprocess. I have thought of this before, but msg249045, 3 days ago, on the remove -n issue https://bugs.python.org/issue16123 brought it back to mind. -- Terry Jan Reedy
