That should have been version 2.5.2 without the 4 I typoed. I'm using 
Hardy Heron, 8.04, and plan to stick with it until version 10 comes out 
as it is the next LTS version.

I'm eyeballing Idle in Synaptic, and it appears to be an IDE for version 
2.5 of Python for my version of Ubuntu. Idle is available for version 
2.4 there as well. I'm pretty used to writing all of my code with only 
the aid of syntax highlighting, but have been hankering for an editor 
that will allow tabbed, or collapsible functions, and collapsible block 
elements.

Does Idle do that? I guess I'll just go ahead and install it, and give 
it a try. Some IDEs I don't like with their project centric viewpoint, 
and my inability to quickly absorb their project file structures details 
to the point I can use them.

If that doesn't happen pretty much within ten or fifteen minutes I go 
back to gedit. 8-)
