As soon as I open the class browser in IDLE (0.5) I get the traceback
below. Previously I had another strange bug that I suspect has to do
with Tcl/Tk and the fact that I have national settings with , (comma)
as decimal separator. With IDLE 0.4, >>> 5 / float(2) would result in
2,5 (not 2.5). It also wanted me to enter data like that. >>> 2.5 * 2
was rejected, and obviously >>> 2,5 * 2 was interpreted as (2, 5) * 2.
This was only a problem in the IDLE shell. Program files ran OK.

Considering "ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 0.0" below I
suspect the errors are related. (A hint is that the problem goes away
if I change the regional settings to decimal . in the control panel.)

>>> Exception in Tkinter callback

Bizarrely, his locale affects Python number parsing.
Can't reproduce this.
