Two possibilites.

1) Preferrable: Install the IDLE that comes with your Python 2.2.1. On
Debian: apt-get install idle-python2.2. Other distributions like the
KRUD RPMs from jafo available on python.org have idle in a seperate
package (in python2-tools-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm, IIRC).

2) A little more hackish: Find your idle: "which idle". Then change the
first line from

#! /usr/bin/python

to

#! /usr/bin/env python2.2
