Leo M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Hello. First time here, beginner at Python. I have verified that the Google tip link in the previous to fix IDLE works for me. Post in question:
** [Kevin's post of 6.Oct, 02:58] You can avoid this problem by building Python yourself and putting /Library/Frameworks first on the search path for Tcl/Tk. Look in setup.py in the source code, around line 1438 (in the 'detect_tkinter_darwin' function), and either comment out /System/Library or put it underneath /Library/Frameworks. This is what the official build from Python.org should do--look first in /Library/Frameworks and then fall back on /System/Library/Frameworks. I'm not sure why it doesn't. ** In setup.py, I simply put /Library/Frameworks/ first as outlined above, and then did a config-make-install of the Framework version of Python. IDLE now does not silently fail now, but runs as 'expected'. -Leo Marihart Python Newb, Somewhat more experienced shell guy ---------- nosy: +leoofborg _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4017> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
