1. SciKitLearn is a 3rd party package.  Address concerns about its 
freezing misbehavior to its developers.

2. WinPython is a 3rd party distribution of Python.  If it behaves 
differently from Python as downloaded from python.org, tell its developers.

3. If you are actually using standard Python from python.org, and have 
problems that do not involve 3rd party packages, the first place to post 
is usually python-list.

4. I have made a note to check IDLE's save process.  It is not standard 
to leave backups in the directory after a successful save.  The widely 
used program editor Notepad++, for instance, does not.
