On Python 2.4.1 on WinXP I have changed keyboard 
shortcut settings for indent/unindent.
New shorcut was Tab/Shift+Tab.

When I did it IDLE hanged up and I could not to launch it 
again.

I have tried everything. Uninstall whole Python and then 
reinstall (tried both version 2.3 and 2.4).
It just looks like from the change of shortcuts IDLE don't 
works.

I tried to:
  import idlelib.PyShell
  idlelib.PyShell.main()
and result with bug are in attachment

Where is the information about IDLE shortcuts keeped ?
Why IDLE remember this even after reinstall ?
How to fix it up?

Best regards,
Przemek

Your user keyset config file on Windows is at
Documents and Settings\<YourUserName>\.idlerc\config-keys.cfg
This file doesn't get removed when Python is uninstalled.

Open this file with a text editor and find the <Key-tab> entry.
Change it to <Key-Tab>

This is a bug in IDLE.  (normally people don't try to re-assign
the tab key, so it got missed)
