Shouldn't this progress from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2c1? Otherwise it's moving backward. No - Py2.4 shipped with idle 1.1. I must've updated it to 1.1.1 sometime after the 2.4 release (I vaguely recall doing this).

To eliminate this confusion I'd propose either

  1. Eliminating the separate IDLE versioning now that it's installed with Python when Tcl/Tk is available.

or

  1. Bringing its version in sync with Python 2.5.

I'm in favor of the latter, to handle the situation where a customized IDLE is decoupled from Python.
