[Visualpython-users] Colorization in IDLE

[Bruce S. <ba...@an...>]

Ruth Chabay discovered that when using IDLE on Windows it is a good idea 
always to start with a "save as" with a file name that has the .py 
extension. If the file is saved without the .py extension, IDLE believes 
the file is not a Python file and refuses to colorize the program. Our 
students find the colorization quite useful and are disappointed when it 
goes away, so it is good to know what the fix is.
