How can I open python file (from desktop) with IDLE, using Terminal on Ubuntu 12.04?

I have tried to do this way:

$ idle open python_file.py

Instead of open my file it's create two more files: open and python_file.py.

It's just

idle python_file.py

If you want it to run in the background (returning control to the terminal so you can type other commands), add '&'

idle python_file.py &

If you want it to continue running even if you close the terminal you can 'disown' it

idle python_file.py & disown
