[issue14827] IDLE crash when typing ^ character on Mac OS X
New submission from Julien Pecqueur jpe...@gmail.com: IDLE crash when i type the character ^ (for example writing ê in a comment). I have the crash only on Mac OS X (Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit Installer (3.2.3) for Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7). I don't have this crash on Linux. -- components: IDLE messages: 160821 nosy: JPEC priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: IDLE crash when typing ^ character on Mac OS X type: crash versions: Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14827 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

If you do not have this installed you ran into a known issue in Apple's copy of Tcl/Tk, see http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for more information. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14827 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Julien Pecqueur jpe...@gmail.com added the comment: My system is an up to date OS X 10.7. The Tcl/Tk package is the default (I haven't installed a specific version). Should i need to install the ActiveState package ? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14827 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ronald Oussoren ronaldousso...@mac.com added the comment: Yes. As the webpage I mentioned describes Apple's installation of Tcl/Tk contains a number of serious bugs, one of which is that Tk's handling of dead keys (the ^ you use write û) causes crashes. To get a fully functional copy of Idle you'll have to install ActiveState's Tcl/Tk as well. We could ship a copy of Tk in the installer as well, but have chosen not to do that because the installer is large enough as it is. Furthermore the Cocoa port of Tcl/Tk is at this time still a moving target, which means that we couldn't even ship the same version of Tcl/Tk for the entire lifetime of Python 3.2.x. Please let us know if installing ActiveState's Tcl/Tk fixes the crash, I expect it will but you might have run into yet another Tk bug. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14827 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
