Their content is not Python source, so the Save As dialog now lists text files first and defaults to a ".txt" extension.

The Shell and Output windows contain shell logs and Find in Files (grep) output, not Python source, so defaulting their Save As dialog to
.pyis misleading — beginners have saved a Shell session as.pyand then hit aSyntaxErrorrunning it (see the issue).IOBindinggainstext_filetypes(text files listed first) andtext_defaultextension = '.txt'.OutputWindow.__init__switches itsioto these, and the Shell (PyShell(OutputWindow)) inherits it..pyis still selectable, just no longer the default. Terry also considered removing.pyas an option entirely for these windows; that stricter change is left out here.The added test checks that an Output window's save defaults to text.
