Summary: IDLE does not work with Python 2.2

Initial Comment:
In EditorWindow.py, IDLE refers to False, which is not
available in Python 2.2. In

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-September/028782.html

Guido rules that support for Python 2.2 is essential,
so I think this is a bug.

Since my code is full of Bool I'm inclined to go with requiring 2.2.1, the bug 
fix release everyone is using anyway (right?).  Per GvR +1 I'm moving back 
to 2.2.1 myself and would rather not go to 2.2.

But it's not a big deal either way, about 30 lines of code.  I'll post a note to 
the list and in the absence of strenuous objection I'd recommend closing 
this as rejected.

Hm, 2.2.1 has True and False. When I said "2.2" I didn't
mean the initial 2.2 release, I meant "some release in the
2.2 family". Requiring 2.2.1 is fine with me. But it's up to
Kurt.
