paul czyzewski added the comment: I'm new to IDLE. I just upgraded to Mac El Capitan from Snow Leopard, and installed Python 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec 5 2015, 21:12:44).
I have had the IDLE window freeze so many times (when clicking on something in the autocomplete window as described by Ned Deily) that I consider IDLE unusable. I'm not familiar with Python bug practices but I would consider this a serious bug because, as a product manager would probably put it, this is going to drive away a significant percentage of new users (i.e., unexplained freezing of the product when doing something which seems natural -- clicking on the item that I want to select). BTW, looks like I'm on tcl 8.5: >>> tkinter.TclVersion 8.5 Unrelated question: which can't Mac Spotlight find tkinter.py? is it in some compressed file or something, so I can't find a standalone py file? ---------- nosy: +paulsfo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15786> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
