G'Day All,

I've successfully installed antiX-16.2_386-full on to a Asus eeePC with the purpose of learning some Python programming. FULL has Python 3.4.2 installed but not idle3. And when I run sudo apt-get install idle3 I am informed that:
Package idle3 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obseleted, or
is only available from another source
Is there any other source or other way to install idle3?

Thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated.

-Shane.

Ah, the old you-haven't-successfully-installed-until-you-have-done-apt-get-update chestnut. Thanks to skidoo for pointing it out.

I had some 503 issues with the NZ mirror so I had to change to Taiwan. But once apt-get update completed I was able to install idle3.
