....hey guys, I posted this over on the Ubuntu forums with no luck. I'm
running Ubuntu 9.10 and python 2.5. In Idle when I type in a function
I get this error...

>>> Exception in Tkinter callback

....I've tried reinstalling, and am not sure where to go from here. I
also get a 2nd small windows about 2X2" with 'idle' in the title, and
nothing in the box, and I cannot use the mouse if I open a Python
program from Idle. Any ideas?
