Hi Everyone,

I tried to run IDLE for the first time yesterday, and it doesn't work.
Here's what I get for an error:

  5 jsn > idle
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/local/bin/idle", line 3, in ?
      from idlelib.PyShell import main
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 11, in ?
      import threading
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/threading.py", line 6, in ?
      import thread
  ImportError: No module named thread

I reinstalled Python, ensuring that thread support was 'on' in the
Makefile, but it still doesn't work (same error message). What's up?
