[Tutor] IDLE in linux

[Jeff Jones]

I tried ./idle but got this error (retyped from linux to outlook):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./idle", line 5, in ?
     from idlelib import idleconf
ImportError: No module IdleConf

Thanks for all your help! I know I have seen people ask similar ?'s. Is
there an archive of this list somewhere?
