    IDLE stopped working

    OSX 10.5.5
    Python 2.5.1

    I started up IDLE today and the bottom of the window was off of the
    screen. I could not find a way to resize it. I closed all apps and
    rebooted. After rebooting, IDLE will not start. Below is the
    Traceback:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

      Find your .idlerc directory and rename/move/delete it.

      If you're on Windows, this should be located at C:\Documents and
      Settings\<your username>\.idle rc

      Otherwise (Linux/OSX/etc.) it should be located in your homedir.
