And 2.6 is in final release? So when ActiveState speaks of 2.6.0.0
they mean a final release?

Yes. The first three parts of the ActivePython version are the same as the core Python version on which it is based.


So, if the IDLE from ActiveState comes up and says 2.6 (indicating
final release), shouldn't the copywrite message also say 2.6
instead of 2.6rc1 as shown here?

Python 2.6rc1 (r26rc1:66438, Sep 13 2008, 09:20:38) [MSC v.1500 32
bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

This is what I get when I run IDLE with ActivePython 2.6.0.0 installed:

-----
Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Nov 11 2008, 10:21:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

I ran it like this:

  C:\Python26> pythonw.exe Lib\idelib\idle.pyw


I believe there is a problem with your install. My guess is that your ActivePython install is using an older python26.dll sitting around somewhere.

Is there a python26.dll somewhere in your "C:\Python26" directory, or wherever you installed ActivePython 2.6?
