I am guessing that you are not registered with our tracker, bugs.python.org<http://bugs.python.org>. I can post these issues there, but need more info to do anything. I just registered to the tracker as walters with email wscghny...@yahoo.com<mailto:wscghny...@yahoo.com>. I am adding the info below. I am using IDLE 3.7.0 and came across these bugs on several Macs, all running OS X v 10.13.5. Unfortunately, tk, tkinter, and hence IDLE are the most troublesome on Mac, but they are the least well tested there. Which of the two installers did you use. Have you used previous versions of Python and IDLE? If so, which, and are these problems new for you on 3.7.0? I used the 64-bit installer for Python 3.0.7. Yes I have used Python and IDLE before, the last version being 3.4. The problems are entirely new. (They are not due to conflicts with earlier versions as one of the test machines is brand new.) The installed version is: Python 3.7.0 (v3.7.0:1bf9cc5093, Jun 26 2018, 23:26:24) [Clang 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin If you start python and IDLE with 'python3 -m idlelib' in a terminal, and repeat the actions reported below, do you see any error messages in the terminal? The same problems occur (both bugs A and B). There is no error in the terminal window. But I learned something new: after running the steps for bug A, IDLE is frozen (no blinking cursor, not responding to Control+D. However, if I bring another application’s window to the front (by clicking on it) then click back on IDLE’s window, this resurrects IDLE, the cursor blinks and Control+D quits. What happens if you run 'python3 -m test.test_idle'? If there are any errors, please run 'python3 -m test -v -ugui test_idle' and report the specific error messages. python3 -m test.test_idle: OK (skipped=1) python3 -m test -v -ugui test_idle: Test result: SUCCESS Bug A: 1. From the shell select Preferences in the IDLE menu. 2. Cancel the Preferences to get back to the Shell 3. The shell is frozen. It doesn’t even react to CONTROL-D. The only way I found to resurrect it is to control-click the shell window and select “Go to file/line” causing an error message to appear. Click OK and the shell comes back to life. Note: This doesn’t only happen when accessing preferences. It also happens when selecting “About IDLE” in the IDLE menu. This makes me think that the problem is with the new version of tcl/tk installed with python or its interaction with tkinter. Neither of these have been touched since last September or Octover. Please run 'python3 -m idlelib.configdialog'. After the unittests repeat, an 'htest' (human-judged test) box appears. Follow the instructions. Does [cancel] hang the test? Do any error messages appear in the terminal? The test does not hang. No error message. Repeat with 'python3 -m idlelib.help_about’. Same as above. No freeze, no error message. Bug B: IDLE 3.7.0 doesn’t display tooltips anymore: 1. On the prompt type print( >>> print( No tooltip appears. Repeat with 'python3 -m idlelib.calltip_w’ The h test fails. No calltip appears.
