Ah ...
I built my local version from source

[lipska@ubuntu ~]$ python3.2
Python 3.2.3 (default, Jul 17 2012, 14:23:10)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.maxunicode

Later, I did an apt-get install idle3 which pulled
down a precompiled IDLE from the Ubuntu repos
This was obviously compiled 'wide'
