ok, finally I got it. I fell for a bug that Noam Raphael pointed out and supplied a patch for eight years ago (http://old.nabble.com/Fix-freezes!-td1182996.html). It is still present in Idle 3.2. I guess IDLE development really is slow =) - this must change!
The problem was that my calls desynced the message loop, though they should not have. I will post my extension here after a little testing, though it will only work with this bug patched. =Phelix= -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/IDLE-Extension---Prompt-goes-missing-tp31258787p31286762.html Sent from the Python - idle-dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list IDLE-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
