Summary: 2 problems with IDLE

Initial Comment:
Lib/idlelib/idle.py should use #!/usr/bin/env python
not /usr/bin/python so the user can modify their path
to execute the correct version of python.

In Lib/idlelib/rpc.py around line 623, svr.register
(svr is an RPCServer instance)  is called, but there is
no register method AFAICT.

Hmmm, I do remember something about distutils rewriting the
line, but I'm not sure.  My problem was that I was running
an uninstalled version in the CVS tree:
  ./Lib/idlelib/idle

Perhaps this isn't a bug.  RPCServer still appears to be a
problem either way.

I fail to see the first problem. Shouldn't distutils replace
the path in #! with sys.exec_prefix? /usr/bin/env should
*not* be used, as this might be a different python than the
one IDLE was installed for.
