If it is working for you it doesn't necessarily mean that it is working for mankind in general. I traced down the problem to the OS X- implementation of Idle in general and submitted an inquiry to the general python list as you suggested. The feedback was null- nada- niente. But in the meantime I received a nice bunch of Spam instead. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2008-August/504330.html I believe the original poster has a French keyboard and seems to have similar problems. The problem is that Idle seems to ignore the international local keyboard setting. And as we do have two significant letters ("#" and "'") at the keyboard position where you have the "\" Idle seems to filter the entry of a backslash. @ marc 67 HTH Cheers Ulf ---------- nosy: +mounty _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3493> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
