I switched from Enthought Canopy to IDLE for Python development when I got my new corporate laptop a few weeks back. Yesterday I realized that I was unable to run a Matplotlib graph from IDLE in my current configuration. Also, I could not find a way to pass command line arguments into my Pyth0nDBAGraphs scripts from IDLE. So, I put in a couple of fixes including an update to the README.md explaining how to pass arguments into my scripts when using IDLE. This describes the problem I was having running Matplotlib graphs in IDLE: stackoverflow article.
I only use IDLE for development. I run my PythonDBAGraphs from the Windows command prompt when I am using them for my database work. Also, I use TextPad and the command line version of Python for development as well as graphical tools like IDLE or Canopy. But, I wanted to use IDLE for development of graphs so I came up with these fixes.
