Thanks for the info. Because not all of the Python libraries we depend on have been brought up-to-date on Windows, we had been stuck with Python 2.4. I tried to pull out the latest idlelib from Python2.5 and put it in 2.4, but it utilizes Python2.5 functionality. I didn't spend a lot of time on that, but it would be great if idle was a little more backwards compatible. I wonder how hard it would be to make it 2.4/2.5 agnostic? -Doug -- Douglas S.
