Hi Ned,

Not sure if I fully understand the IDLE issue, I'm still learning Python (abt. 6 months). Nevertheless I've installed the distributes through the command line.

if you want to reassign this issue to IDLE, please do so.

Best regards,

Ben Thelen

Ned Deily <nad@acm.org> added the comment:

That won't work in IDLE because IDLE replaces the standard sys.stdout file object with a special proxy object to capture stdout across its processes and the proxy object does not currently support all of the attributes of a io.TextTIOWrapper object, like errors.

>>> sys.stdout
<idlelib.rpc.RPCProxy object at 0x1282b30>

If that is the only problem, perhaps this issue should be reassigned to IDLE to support errors and any other relevant new attributes.
