[issue11068] Python 2.7.1 Idle traceback on OS X (10.6.6)

[David Meier]

David Meier  added the comment:

Sorry that what I had pasted in does not show a segfault, however if you run it 
as `idle` (i.e. no `(idle&)) the command line reports a generic "Segmentation 
fault" with no traceback.  So, yes, it is a segmentation fault - but I figured 
it was more useful if you had the traceback when running it that way.  Whether 
or not the two are related I do not know.

R. David Murray  added the comment:

FYI, a python traceback is not a segfault.  Nor is it a 'crash' in the sense we 
use in this tracker.

The warning has been added to the download page, though there is discussion 
about whether or not it should be more prominent.

David Meier  added the comment:

Removing the 10.6 specific Python 2.7.1 installation (with the instructions 
provided by Ned) and reinstalling the 10.3-10.6 32bit installation fixed the 
aforementioned segfault.  Thanks for the information, however, I do think it 
should be noted on the download page that there are problems with the 10.6 
32/64-bit version and it is safer to go the 32-bit only installer unless there 
is a specific need.  I did not see any caveats mentioned when I went to 
download it.

Ned Deily  added the comment:

To uninstall, you can do the following:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7
sudo rm -rf /Applications/"Python 2.7"

If you've installed any site-packages, you would need to re-install them.

[issue11068] Python 2.7.1 Idle traceback on OS X (10.6.6)

[David Meier]

David Meier  added the comment:

It doesn't matter what's in the file itself.  By 'blank' I mean, literally, an 
empty file (i.e. `touch file.py`).

You are correct that this was installed from the 10.6 specific 2.7.1, I will 
try to install from the other version.  Is there a recommended uninstallation 
before trying this?

[issue11068] Python 2.7.1 Idle traceback on OS X (10.6.6)

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily  added the comment:

Does it matter what the contents of the file are, i.e. what do you mean by a 
"blank .py" file?  I am not able to reproduce that problem.

Be aware that, because of problems with the Apple-suppled Cocoa Tk 8.5 in OS X 
10.6, the 2.7.1 IDLE from the 10.6-only 64-bit/32-bit installer from python.org 
is problematic.  In the interim, we recommend you use 2.7.1 IDLE from the 
10.3-through-10.6 32-bit-only installer.
