+# The flow of control is as follows:
+# 1. IDLE.app is launched which starts python running the IDLE script
+# 2. IDLE script exports
+# PYTHONEXECUTABLE = .../IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/Python{-32}
+# (the symlink to the framework python)
+# 3. IDLE script alters sys.argv and uses os.execve to replace itself with
+# idlemain.py running under the symlinked python.
+# This is the magic step.
+# 4. During interpreter initialization, because PYTHONEXECUTABLE is defined,
+# sys.executable may get set to an unuseful value.

+# (Note that the IDLE script and the setting of PYTHONEXECUTABLE is
+# generated automatically by bundlebuilder in the Python 2.x build.
+# Also, IDLE invoked via command line, i.e. bin/idle, bypasses all of
