New submission from Ned Deily <n...@acm.org>:

In several contexts, IDLE binds clicking of the right mouse button to context 
popup menus, most importantly, to provide the Set Breakpoint and Clear 
Breakpoint actions in edit windows.  On OS X systems, however, one cannot 
assume there will be more than one (e.g. the left) mouse button.  Further, Aqua 
Tk, the default on OS X, binds a right button if present to <Button-2>, rather 
than <Button-3> as with other Tk implementations and ignores <Button-3> 
bindings.  The net effect is that there is currently no way to use IDLE's 
breakpoint facility with Aqua Tk, with or without a multi-button mouse.
