I just 'bought' this to see if it is something I would recommend. I

"Click Run -> Run Module F5 The following window will appear <save box>" 
That soon gets to be a nuisance and can be turned off with Options / 
Configure IDLE / General / Autosave Preferences (x) No prompt. I think 
even beginners should learn about the configure dialog.

"It is essential that you include the .py extension."
