Hi Eric,
 
I'm not suggesting that python does not test the applications. just reporting what I experience.
The python version installed is r32:88445
 
What I did, I opened the setup file (in IDLE) from the distribute 0.6.21 and run this.
 
On my python 3.2 version (clean without extentions). when I type in (on the command line)
 
>>>import sys
>>>sys.stdout.error
'strict'
 
However on the IDLE when I do the same.
a AttributeError is being raised.
 
Not sure why the difference between the two (I thought these were the same).
 
Ben

How?  Please tell exactly what command you ran with what Python version.

It does, in 3.x.  Do you think Python has no tests or no users? :)
