Shouldn't be, and AFAIK Ctrl-Z never did anything in any release of IDLE
under any version of Windows except get interpreted by Tk as a command to
"erase backwards".  Perhaps you were using a customized IDLE before, or are
remembering how the DOS-box Python works (where Ctrl-Z is interpreted by
Microsoft's input routines-- not Tk's -- as an "end of file" signal).  You
can use Ctrl-D or Ctrl-Q under IDLE to get out (the former closes just the
shell window, the latter closes all IDLE windows).
