Summary: "Can't locate PyShell" error message

Initial Comment:
when running the last IDLE alpha distro it gaves the
following error message:

C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\idleforklib>c:\python23\python
idle.py
Can't locate PyShell.py

C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\idleforklib>

most probably means that you miss the file interrupt.pyd.
it's not bundled within the win32 alpha distro.

as a workaround copy the file attached to the DLLs
directory under your Python distribution.

(thanks to bruce for the attached copy of the library)

regards,
-Hernan

Note that the interrupt module is not part of the 
"alpha distro".  It was added to CVS on 10 March
after 0.9a2 was released.

I have improved the exception handling, idle,
idle.py and idle.pyw should now report exactly
why the import failed.

Also note that interrupt.pyd may not be compatible
across Python versions.  

Idle Rev 1.11 etc.
