I took care of the bug report.

Glad you mentioned it. My personal opinion is that many of the error messages in IDLE (to say nothing of large parts of the overall user experience) are a bit of a horror show, but it’s slowly fixable! :-)  Don’t hesitate to share other snags, as the situation you’re in is what I’d like to see much better supported.
