Thanks Ned and Terry for your responses.
Ned: I am currently teaching a course where my students and I are all using
Python 3.7 and the current Pygame 1.9.6, so unfortunately, I cannot update to
the newer development release of 2.0. I am also writing a book on OOP using
Pygame, and that is currently dependent on the same Pygame release.
Terry: I tried following your steps. I opened the appropriate file
(idlelib.filelist), and added the line at the appropriate place. But when I go
to save, I get a message:
[Errno 13] Permission denied:
'Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/idlelib/filelist.py'
So I cannot save the file.
I tried opening the same file a simple text editor, BBEdit, and made the same
change. When I went to save I got a message:
Are you sure you want to unlock filelist.py? You aren't a member of the group
'wheel'.
Cancel Unlock
I chose Unlock, saved and quit. The Finder shows a new date for the file. But
when I double clicked on my Python 3.7 icon, or if I double click on any Python
file, IDLE no longer opens.
I went back into BBEdit, removed the new line, saved again. Now I can open
IDLE as before.
I don't have a good feel for what files I am supposed to be "allowed" to edit,
so I don't know what to try next. If you have any suggestions about how I can
add your debugging line successfully, I'm happy to help.
