Just brainstorming...: in the Windows installer (if a suitable place can be found); in the README most definitely (SOME users, albeit a minority, will have a look at the README -- far fewer than will think to look at the IDLE sources or be able to make sense of them); in the "what's new" doc; in the IDLE docs; ... (not intended to be mutually exclusive).

More ideas, anybody?

I'll send in a patch to .../idlelib/README.txt to add a comment about this. The README is accessible from the About IDLE dialog available on the Help menu so there's a /slight/ chance it might be read :-)

The popup on first use is probably necessary if you really want (to attempt :) to get the user's attention.
