If you're getting something like:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\Python22\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1292, in __call__
    return apply(self.func, args)
  File "F:\PYTHON21\Tools\idle\PyShell.py", line 514, in eof_callback
    self.close()
  File "F:\PYTHON21\Tools\idle\PyShell.py", line 421, in close
    return PyShellEditorWindow.close(self)
TypeError: unbound method close() must be called with
PyShellEditorWindow instance as first argument (got PyShell instance
instead)

>>>


Take a look at sys.path for a non-python22 directory.  In my case I
found it at 'F:\\PYTHON21\\Tools\\idle' which I suspect is the problem.

I haven't fixed it though so let us know what you find out.

If you aren't getting something like the above then don't read this...
