Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Tools/idle
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv23115/python/Tools/idle

Modified Files:
	CallTipWindow.py 
Log Message:
SF bug 546078:  IDLE calltips cause application error.
Assorted crashes on Windows and Linux when trying to display a very
long calltip, most likely a Tk bug.  Wormed around by clamping the
calltip display to a maximum of 79 characters (why 79? why not ...).

Bugfix candidate, for all Python releases.
