In his tweet he is referring to Python 2.7 on OS X.  Perhaps he's 
running into the problem documented in http://bugs.python.org/issue9227 
which is that the IDLE in the new-style 64-bit/32-bit python.org 
installer variant  ("10.5+") is broken on 10.6.  The workaround is to 
use the other ("10.3+", 32-bit only) OS X installer for 2.7.  The 
changes here aren't fixing bugs on OS X and I'm not aware of any other 
IDLE OS X regressions between 2.6 and 2.7.   If there are, I hope 
someone opens issues for them.
