[Idle-dev] Making idle choose different python versions

[Beni Cherniavsky-Paskin]

Basically, idle uses the python executable that idle itself was running
with.  So try running
  /Python26/cooper/bin/python -m idlelib.idle
or
  /Python26/cooper/bin/python /Python26/Lib/idlelib/idle.pyw

Also, you might want to install coour without isolation from the test of
your python installation - according to the site,
  easy_install coopr
should do it.
