You're responding to a decade-old post, you're posting from Google
Groups, and you haven't added any information to the thread at all.
The original post was talking about Python 2.4, which is well and
truly out of support (unless you're running RHEL5), so the very first
thing you should do is see if there's still a corresponding issue with
a current version of Python. The next thing to do is to make sure you
don't offend with form (always offend people with substance, it's more
satisfying), so either don't use Google Groups, or clean up what you
post so it comes out looking correct. And following the standard
interleaved style, rather than top-posting, will also help.

On Windows, the default mode of running Idle is without a console 
window, with pythonw.exe. Site.py and sitecustomize.py are run before 
anything else and any output is discarded. I propose to note this where 
sitecustomize.py is explained.
