[Tutor] A few Python Mysteries [SOLVED]

[Wayne Watson]

Excellent strategy!! It worked.

I just examined the properties for each .idlerc, and noticed that the 
troublesome one was created in Feb 4,2010.  Probably with Python 2.5.2.  
I don't know why or necessarily whether new installs shouldn't have 
changed the folder or recreated it.

Thanks to all who followed this long perplexing thread.
