Summary: IDLE won't run on Win2K

Initial Comment:
When I noticed that Python 2.3 was out today I
downloaded it immediately! I uninstalled 2.2.3 and
installed 2.3. When I tried to start IDLE the cursor
changed to the hour glass momentarily and then back to
the arrow. When I tried running IDLE from cmd.exe I got
the shell prompt immediately. IDLE worked fine under
2.2.3. I am running on a DELL Latitude C600 with
Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 2.

2.3's IDLE works fine on my Win2K.  What happens when you 
try the following from a DOS box?

C:\Python23>python
Python 2.3 (#46, Jul 29 2003, 18:54:32) [MSC v.1200 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 
information.
>>> import Tkinter
>>> Tkinter._test()
>>>

That will tell us whether Tk is working.
