Running IDLE on 3.0rc1

I have not seen this posted, so...
To run IDLE with Python3.0rc1,
edit Python30/Libs/idlelib/run.py,
and change "set_daemon(True)" to "daemon = True" and save.
(This is about line 75, and the only appearance of 'daemon'.)
Otherwise, you get error message about not starting a subprocess.

No, the above is a bug fix that did not make it into rc1 but has now
been committed. It arose because the interface of a class in one of the
modules was changed from .set_var(val) to .var = val and the need to
change IDLE was not caught. I imagine that checking that IDLE runs in
not in the test suite.
