Yes. The first three parts of the ActivePython version are the same as 
the core Python version on which it is based.

This is what I get when I run IDLE with ActivePython 2.6.0.0 installed:

-----
Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Nov 11 2008, 10:21:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

I ran it like this:

   C:\Python26> pythonw.exe Lib\idelib\idle.pyw


I believe there is a problem with your install. My guess is that your 
ActivePython install is using an older python26.dll sitting around 
somewhere.

Is there a python26.dll somewhere in your "C:\Python26" directory, or 
wherever you installed ActivePython 2.6?
