I have a patch for IDLE, but I've never submitted a patch before and not quite sure of the procedure, despite reading the guidelines at http://www.python.org/dev/patches/. But I'll be brave and persevere. The question I have at the moment is should I only submit the patch vs. 3.1 or also for 3.0? 2.7? 2.6? 2.5?

The guidelines listed above clearly state that patches should be sent relative to the current SVN tree. That would be 2.7, I guess. In addition, I would suggest uploading the patch to http://codereview.appspot.com which makes reviewing simpler. Perhaps, the guidelines page can mention this point.

Guidance on all of these would be greatly appreciated. The patch itself disturbs things in a half-dozen places, but in very minimal ways, so it's

The recommended way is to create a tracker issue (with or without patch) and send a mail here with the issue link and a brief description. That will allow interested people to check the issue and add comments. Thanks, Raghu
