Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Report like this should initially go to python-list as the problem is probably idiosyncratic to your machine. I have a similar setup, just installed 2.7.6, and Idle seems to work fine.
Open a Windows console (AllPrograms/Accessories/CommandPrompt), cd to your 2.7 director, and try to start idle as below C:\Users\Terry>cd /programs/python27 C:\Programs\Python27>python -m idlelib.idle You should see an error message. Perhaps about tkinter. If so, try re-installing and make sure that tcl/tk are checked to be installed. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy type: crash -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19584> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
