    Running IDLE on 3.0rc1

    I have not seen this posted, so...
    To run IDLE with Python3.0rc1,
    edit Python30/Libs/idlelib/run.py,
    and change "set_daemon(Tru e)" to "daemon = True" and save.
    (This is about line 75, and the only appearance of 'daemon'.)
    Otherwise, you get error message about not starting a subprocess.

      Is this related to the tip at the end of the built-in help file in IDLE
      regarding the `-n' command option?

      No, the above is a bug fix that did not make it into rc1 but has now
      been committed. It arose because the interface of a class in one of the
      modules was changed from .set_var(val) to .var = val and the need to
      change IDLE was not caught. I imagine that checking that IDLE runs in
      not in the test suite.
