Summary: IDLE and old color themes

Initial Comment:
After uninstalling Python 2.3.4 on my Windows 2000
workstation, I installed Python 2.4. Unfortunately,
IDLE refused to start up. I would just see some hard
drive activity, then nothing. 

Getting some help from the tutor list(Danny Yoo), I was
told to try...

import idlelib.PyShell
idlelib.PyShell.main()

from the Python command prompt.

IDLE fired up, but it complained about my color
theme(which I had created in Python 2.3.4).
Unfortunately, I do not have the errors/warnings. I
deleted the color theme from IDLE, and now IDLE fires
up without issue. The color theme must have been left
over from Python 2.3.4.
