New submission from mélomane: First time using Python on my personal computer. Updated the mac version to 3.3. Then installed ActiveTcl 8.6.1.0, then tried deleting and installing 8.5.15.0. I tried opening IDLE from the applications folder, then from terminal. After that failed to work, I browsed the forms and tried what another user suggested to see if I had write permission to my home directory.
