Untangling pythonWin and IDLE Processes on XP Pro

Greetings and salutations.

I just uninstalled all traces of (Active) pythonWin 2.5.2 from this machine, 
In fact, I uninstalled python 2.5.2 with IDLE from this machine. I then 
reinstalled the latter. Then I ran the program. XP Pro.

I then went to another machine that has never had pythonWin on it all, but 
does have python 2.5.2 with IDLE. I ran the same program there. W2K.

In both cases, I got the output below. Your conclusions?
