  You can *modify* IDLE so as to adapt it to your needs.

  To find the source code of IDLE, search for

pyshell.py

  on your file system. The IDLE source files should be in the directory
  of that file.

  Here are two examples for possible modifications to IDLE:

  When you want to run a new program you just typed into the
  editor, it asks you for a filename. What a distraction!
  To have a filename auto-generated for you, modify the definition
  of the function "getfilename" in the file "runscript.py" of IDLE.

  When you save your source code, IDLE does not write a backup
  copy into an archive directory, so that you will lose the
  current version if you modify it later. To have a backup
  written for every version saved, modify the definition of
  the function "writefile" in the IDLE source file "iomenu.py".
