Hi,

I installed python 2.5b3 on a powerbook ppc laptop
running macos 10.3.9 a few days ago.  python and idle
worked.  Now I installed 2.5c1.  python works fine from
a terminal.  When I start idle, it loads, puts up its
menu bar, opens a shell window, displays usual startup
info, and gives me a prompt.  But, I can't type or get
a cursor. Whenever I move the mouse over the idle
window or menu bar, I get a spinning color wheel and
can't do anything.

I deleted the whole /library/python tree, reinstalled
2.5c1, and exactly the same thing happened.

Oh, and I rebooted :)

Not sure what is happening, or how to diagnose.
