I am a new Python user and have started to explore a few of its
basic capabilities using IDLE
I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard ( version 10.6.4 ) with Python Version 2.6.1 Tk Version 8.5 IDLE Version 2.6.1 If I launch IDLE and enter Python statements in the initial window that is presented, all seems fine. However, if, in the IDLE session, I invoke the menu item File > New Window a new window does appear, but I can not type anything into it, and, worse yet, can not type anything into the original IDLE session window either, and have to do a force quit. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to properly use the File > New Window feature of IDLE on the Mac? PS - Since first posting this question on another discussion group, I have been told that there are indeed problems with some versions of IDLE on the Mac, and was also urged to post this question here on the pythonmac-sig group for additional guidance. It would be nice to be able to use IDLE of course, since it seems to come along as part of the Python distribution, but if there are problems with the functionality of the current version, then I am certainly open to alternatives that work well on the Mac. |
