Summary: IDLE and old color themes

Initial Comment:
After uninstalling Python 2.3.4 on my Windows 2000
workstation, I installed Python 2.4. Unfortunately,
IDLE refused to start up. I would just see some hard
drive activity, then nothing. 

Getting some help from the tutor list(Danny Yoo), I was
told to try...

import idlelib.PyShell
idlelib.PyShell.main()

from the Python command prompt.

IDLE fired up, but it complained about my color
theme(which I had created in Python 2.3.4).
Unfortunately, I do not have the errors/warnings. I
deleted the color theme from IDLE, and now IDLE fires
up without issue. The color theme must have been left
over from Python 2.3.4.

The (un)installer doesn't know about the user's .idlerc file.
There should not be any incompatiblility between 2.3.4 and
2.4 regarding the color themes.  It's too bad you didn't save
the error messages.  Could you describe exactly what you
mean by "I deleted the color theme?" .  What files or parts
of files were removed?
