Summary: IDLE/Command Line Output Differ

Initial Comment:
Platform: OS X 10.1.5
XDarwin: 1.1 (XFree86 4.2)
IDLE: 0.8
Python: 2.2.1

Code (from Python Tutorial sec. 4.4) [I don't know if my 
indentation will be preserved here, but the code was indented per 
Python convention]:

>>> for n in range(2, 10):
...     for x in range(2, n):
...         if n % x == 0:
...            print n, 'equals', x, '*', n/x
...            break
...     else:
...          # loop fell through without finding a factor
...          print n, 'is a prime number'

Result in IDLE:

3 is a prime number
4 equals 2 * 2
5 is a prime number
5 is a prime number
5 is a prime number
6 equals 2 * 3
7 is a prime number
7 is a prime number
7 is a prime number
7 is a prime number
7 is a prime number
8 equals 2 * 4
9 is a prime number
9 equals 3 * 3

Result using (xterm) command line matched example given in 
Python Tutorial:

2 is a prime number
3 is a prime number
4 equals 2 * 2
5 is a prime number
6 equals 2 * 3
7 is a prime number
8 equals 2 * 4
9 equals 3 * 3

Apparently this is a bug in the INPUT to IDLE,
as the incorrect output is produced, if the else-part in 
the statement is incorrectly idented as part of the if-statement
instead as a part of the for-statement
