If, as I suspect, this would fix the messed up indentation in
IDLE shell control statements then a huge +1 from me.

As moderator of the tutor list we see lots of confused
beginners getting tripped up by that. Probably the biggest
single complaint about IDLE...

PS. Sorry for the tardy response but I read this via gmane
newsfeed and when that broke I stopped getting news.
Now gmane is back I can read the lists again - hooray!
