[Python-Dev] IDLE croaks on both beta3s?

Marks Summerfield and Dickenson report 2.6/3.0 b3 will not run IDLE
http://bugs.python.org/issue3628
because idlelib/run.py needs s/set_daemon(True)/daemon = True/

Assuming they are correct and this is general:

1. Is not there any test to make sure that IDLE basically runs?
For instance by having it run a file that writes a test file?

2. If the Windows installers have not been made yet (they are not on 
Python.org yet), could they incorporate the needed change?

For me, this is a show stopper since I use IDLE as my Python editor and 
tester.
