/usr/bin/idle3 runs with #! /usr/bin/python, which is still Python 2.6. It needs to be changed to #! /usr/bin/python3.

This bug was fixed in the package python3-defaults - 3.0.1-0ubuntu3

---------------
python3-defaults (3.0.1-0ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Make idle3 run with /usr/bin/python3, not /usr/bin/python.
    (LP: #336381)
  * Remove Essential: yes from python3-minimal, and reduce the Priority of
    python3 and python3-minimal to optional. (LP: #330613)

I'm using idle3 (3.0.1.0-ubuntu3) in jaunty and the issue occurs again:

hannes@romeo ~ % cat /usr/bin/idle3
#! /usr/bin/python

from idlelib.PyShell import main
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Changing "#! /usr/bin/python" to "#! /usr/bin/python3" solves this.

My apologies; the last debdiff modified the wrong file (idle.sh instead of idle.py). Here’s another debdiff that modifies idle.py, and removes idle.sh to avoid such confusion in the future.

Just confirming this issue still exists. Version 3.0.1-ubuntu3 is the latest in the repository, and it still has #! /usr/bin/python instead of #! /usr/bin/python3

Oops, I forgot to reopen this bug when posting the new patch. The debdiff above should still be uploaded.

---------------
python3-defaults (3.0.1-0ubuntu4) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Make idle3 actually run with /usr/bin/python3. (LP: #336381)
  * Remove unused idle.sh that led to the previous confusion.
