- IDLE can be launched as `python -m idlelib`
- Issue #14409: IDLE now properly executes commands in the Shell window
when it cannot read the normal config files on startup and
has to use the built-in default key bindings.
There was previously a bug in one of the defaults.
- Issue #3573: IDLE hangs when passing invalid command line args
(directory(ies) instead of file(s)).
- Issue #14018: Update checks for unstable system Tcl/Tk versions on OS X
to include versions shipped with OS X 10.7 and 10.8 in addition to 10.6.
