New submission from Sophia K. Cheng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello,
I was able to run IDLE once or twice on my laptop. Then I downloaded kiki and tried to run it but had forgotten to install wxPython. After that, IDLE no longer opens although the command prompt does still work. I get the following error: C:\Python25>python.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "Lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 21, in <module> idlelib.PyShell.main() File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1404, in main shell = flist.open_shell() File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 275, in open_shell self.pyshell = PyShell(self) File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 813, in __init__ OutputWindow.__init__(self, flist, None, None) File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\OutputWindow.py", line 16, in __init__ EditorWindow.__init__(self, *args) File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\EditorWindow.py", line 248, in __init__ self.update_recent_files_list() File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\EditorWindow.py", line 715, in update_recent_fil es_list rf_file = open(self.recent_files_path, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\skcheng\\.id lerc\\recent-files.lst' I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times 2.5 and also 2.6. When I look at the folder .idlerc in windows explorer, I get an error each time I click on it that access is denied, even though I am running as administrator on my laptop. I have tried uninstalling Python and deleting the .idlerc folder. I have also tried manually unchecking the read-only property for the folder. I have a Lenovo T400 that is built for Windows Vista, but am running Windows XP. Thank you. ---------- components: IDLE messages: 77588 nosy: skcheng severity: normal status: open title: IDLE won't open anymore, .idlerc unaccessible versions: Python 2.5.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
