Running idestudio seems to require the following
shell command to avoid crash on startup,
unset PYTHONPATH PYTHONHOME

When started the interactive prompt gives:
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Sep  9 2002, 09:26:21)
[GCC 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)] on linux-i386
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IDLE 0.8 -- IDEStudio 1.8:

Opening a Python script which executes OK in normal mode, then going into the debugger and trying to
run the script, go, import it, or use other debug controls causes the system to crash. I can't copy and
paste the crash dump, because in the crashed state  the
mouse drag doesn't hightlight or select the text. However,
the stack trace window includes:
   while executing
"140430308cont"
   invoked from within
".140677068.1404111444.140399596 invoke"
(cut)
invoked from within
"tkButtonUp.140677068.140411444.140399596"
  (command bound to event)

An exit dialog is presented with closes down the application
whichever yes or no is pressed, if no a stack trace is given
which dissapears too fast to read.
