Hi,
Tried to install IDLE (IDE for python) from the repositories (using synaptic or apt-get) but keep getting error 404 - file not found.
Does this mean that idle has been removed from the repositories?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

It is there. maybe the repo was down

#apt-get install idle-python2.4 OR
#apt-get install idle-python2.5

A 404 error would indicate that either you don't have a connection or the server is down.

This happened to me yesterday when I was trying to install java. I had forgotten to reload the repos before I tried to install, so maybe that would help.
