I sending a copy of this response to your email since you are not 
subscribed.  Please send any response to the list and not to me, as I am 
subscribed.

Python is used by people of all ages, from kids to people at least in 
their 80s. I and most anyone else will urge you to re-start with current 
Python, which is 3.11, released a month ago, or 3.10, if you need 3rd 
party packages.  For most of us, 2.7 is dead and increasingly and 
willingly forgotten.

This list is for discussion of issues specific to IDLE and particularly 
its future development.  For general discussion, you could try
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Much python discussion is now on Python's Discourse site:
https://discuss.python.org/
Questions on the Python Help section are usually answered.
In both places, I would urge you to search for existing discussions 
before posting.  Discourse makes it easy to browse.
