[Python-3000] poss bug in IDLE 30a1 in Python 30a2

[Mark Summerfield]

Hi,

When I start IDLE I get this:

Python 3.0a2 (r30a2:59382, Dec 10 2007, 14:21:37) 
[GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-13)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

    ****************************************************************

    makes to its subprocess using this computer's internal loopback

    interface and no data is sent to or received from the Internet.
    ****************************************************************
    
IDLE 3.0a1      
>>>

That's fine (if slightly confusing regarding the version numbers), but
if I click Options->Configure I get this error output:

: Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

    for row_index in xrange(n_rows):
NameError: global name 'xrange' is not defined

I tried changing xrange to range, but that doesn't work:
