Currently, if IDLE is configured to open a shell window by default, there is no way to override this from the command line. There should be a way to just open an editor window from the command line.

Perhaps this should be the behavior when the -e option is  given? The shell could still be opened (if IDLE is so configured) for just "idle.py <filename>", without the -e.

Yes, I think you are right about this.  That would also allow us to configure IDLE on Windows so if someone selects "Edit with IDLE" on the right click menu, it won't also open a shell, which is generally not needed.  The command line options should override the config options.

-e only opens edit window, not shell
