After deleting my colour theme, I tried running IDLE in the usual manner (via the shortcut or by opening a .PY file in it), and it worked. (It's rather curious that, even after uninstalling version 2.4.3 completely, my theme was preserved when I installed 2.5.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
