[Idle-dev] Python 2.3b1 release

[Bruce Sherwood]

Ah. I see. With Python itself as the beta test, that makes complete sense. I
had been concerned that perhaps one would have wanted major testing of
idlefork BEFORE it showed up in Python, but if you're willing for the
idlefork beta test to be part of the Python beta test, great. My impression
of past Python betas was that they were in very good shape already, and it
wasn't clear to me that idlefork was in the same state of near readiness. I
look forward to testing both Python and idlefork!
