    Patch adding a 'Paste Code' item to the 'Edit' menu, as well as hotkeys.

    Using 'Paste Code' instead of the normal paste will remove prompts ('>>>
    ' or '... ') from the code, and also remove empty lines if pasting to a
    shell window.

    This allows easily copy/pasting code between shell and editor windows,
    as well as easily pasting code from other applications (e.g. a web
    browser) into IDLE.

    This patch uses IDLE's PyParse.py for parsing code, and Tk's clipboard
    API for interaction with the clipboard (it changes the clipboard's
    contents, generates a normal paste event, and changes the contents back).

    Test only on WinXP SP2 so far, needs to be tested on other platforms,
    especially the clipboard interaction.

    I would really like something like this -- for 3.2b1 next week.
I am constantly running posted interactive code and the lack of this is a major nuisance. There seems to be a glitch in how the editor deals with '>>> ' when trying to delete it.

However, as well as removing '>>> ' and '... ' from code lines,
I would like it to add '# ' to output lines. I do not see that in the patch.

    Since I have XP also (and access to Win7) I would consider this working on those two sufficient reason to commit. As near as I can tell, the patch cannot possibly break other systems as long as the feature is not used. Once in the beta, it could get wider testing.

    An alternative approach would be to leave pasting alone but add a
    'Convert interactive code' option to the format menu, with keycode alt-v (not currently used as far as I can see).

    By already implemented, I presume Mark was referring to the PastePyShell.py extension that is part of the IdleX package http://idlex.sourceforge.net/. I plan to take a look.

    I would like to add 'Save code' to the Shell menu, but this would still be needed. A strip_noncode function could be shared.
