Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment:
>From the traceback, IDLE is crashing on a decode error when trying to process
>the list of recently used files which is used to populate its recent files
>menu. That list of files is saved in ~/.idlerc/recent-file.lst so an easy
>workaround is to delete the file before launching IDLE.app. IDLE appears to
>be dependent on locale LANG settings. When launched by double-clicking, like
>all Mac GUI apps IDLE.app does not inherited environment variables set in
>shell profiles, as in a terminal session. The problem can be easily
>reproduced with bin/idle which is started from a shell environment:
$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
$ echo "/Users/nad/Documents/test_รค.py" > ~/.idlerc/recent-files.lst
nad@fimt:~$ /usr/local/bin/idle3.2
# idle starts normally with the umlauted file name in the recent files menu
$ unset LANG
$ /usr/local/bin/idle3.2
