[Visualpython-users] running on Ubuntu 10.10

[Joe H. <hea...@gm...>]

I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 and everything seems to be working fine. I then installed Python 2.6.6, IDLE for Python 2.6, and the visual package from the Ubuntu package manager. I have NOT installed VIDLE yet. Two things concern me. First, the demo files are not where they "should" be but are instead under /usr/share/doc/something-or-other. Second, when I load a demo script into IDLE and try to run it, Python crashes and the shell and program windows vanish. What am I missing here? I really don't want to build from sources.
