can i configure IDLE to use python 3.2 on fedora?

on fedora 11 system, there is no python 3 package so i downloaded
and manually installed (svn checkout) python pre-3.2 in
/usr/local/bin. works fine, but if i install the python-tools
package, "idle" that comes with it is hard-coded(?) to still refer to
the officially-installed python-2.6. i see no way to configure idle
to use the "python3" executable instead.

is there a way? or am i just out of luck?

Just find your python3 IDLE, I think it's in Tools/
