Documentation for IDLE states: Starting IDLE on UNIX On Unix, just type "idle" at a command prompt. This should bring up a Window similar to the one above. (If it doesn't, look for the "idle" script in the Tools/idle directory in the Python source distribution.) http://www.python.org/idle/doc/idlemain.html I believe that is obsolete, I cannot see a Tools/idle directory in either 2.5 or 2.6. Perhaps better instructions might be: (If it doesn't, run "python LOC/idlelib/idle.py" where LOC is the location of your Python source distribution, usually /usr/lib/python*.) or similar.
