Considering that this post just appeared (lost in transit?), I hope you've solved the problem by now but, if not, it is certainly possible to run IDLE on OS X 10.9.2 from the Python 2.7.6 installers provided by python.org. Make sure you follow the instructions to also install an up-to-date ActiveTcl 8.5.15, if possible. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list IDLE-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
