New submission from Steven D'Aprano <[email protected]>:
Documentation for IDLE states:
Starting IDLE on UNIX
On Unix, just type "idle" at a command prompt. This should bring
up a Window similar to the one above. (If it doesn't, look for
the "idle" script in the Tools/idle directory in the Python source
distribution.)
http://www.python.org/idle/doc/idlemain.html
I believe that is obsolete, I cannot see a Tools/idle directory in
either 2.5 or 2.6. Perhaps better instructions might be:
(If it doesn't, run "python LOC/idlelib/idle.py" where LOC
is the location of your Python source distribution, usually
/usr/lib/python*.)
or similar.
