Content
I believe IDLE runs modules via execfile(), so I would expect the behavior to be similar, and execfile() does not set __file__. Doing "Run Module" is also IMO equivalent to doing execfile(), so this behavior retains consistency. However, I would expect __file__ to be set when running IDLE -r <script>, but I get "name '__file__' is not defined" (with Python 2.6.2). This is inconsistent and should be fixed.
