I think that tells you that it's an unimportant bug that doesn't really effect many people much, and a million miles from implying that Python 3.x is "seriously broken and unsuitable for production". > I expect 2.7 will be around for a long time. As reported on the bug tracker, this bug effects Python 2.7 as well. It's possible this bug goes back to, what? Python 2.5? 2.4? 2.3? Older? Who knows? http://bugs.python.org/issue8093#msg102818 In any case, IDLE is one IDE out of many, and not really up to professional quality -- it's clunky and ugly. It isn't Python, it is a tool written in Python. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
