I had to work through some issues with IDLE myself. Which 'platform' are you using? Mac, Windows, or Linux? 

For Linux I changed distribution (to Fedora 17) so that the version of IDLE and Python matched that used in the course. For Windows I was able to locate a suitable version (2.6.8) from the IDLE for Windows site.
