[issue23544] IDLE hangs when selecting Stack View with debug active
Andrew Harrington added the comment: I was using this without looking at documentation, as a newbies would. Graying and disabling until after an exception makes sense, but even the menu item name is misleading: any time the program is running there is a stack that you might want to view. Better labels in the menu than Stack Viewer would be stack trace or stack after exception (maybe too long) or stack after crash. On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 4:49 PM, Terry J.

(Debug On just means that it will become active when code is run.) No stepping is needed; debugger can be pointing to the inital docstring line. For me also, Idle stops and has to be externally closed, as opposed to totally disappearing by itself. The doc for Stack Viewer says Show the stack traceback of the last exception. Example: 1/0 Traceback (most recent call last): File pyshell#0, line 1, in module 1/0 ZeroDivisionError: division by zero Selecting Stack Viewer pops up a viewer box. This still works after [DEBUG ON] turns the debugger on but inactive. Entering anything at the prompt disables viewing the 'last' exception, contrary to my understanding of the short doc. So I might add '(if no other code has been run)' to the doc. Selecting Stack Viewer while a program is running (sleeping in this next example) import time; time.sleep(10); 1/0 brings up a box after the exception is printed. So 'last exception' can actually be 'next exception'. But in this case, the user process is left 'running' and no ' ' prompt appears, and one must Shell - Restart to do anything further. This is not good behavior. When one selects Debug - Debugger while user code is running, Idle brings up a message box Don't debug now: You can only toggle the debugger when idle. I think Debug - Stack Viewer should be similarly disabled, though perhaps graying out the menu entry might be better. It could also be grayed out when there the 'last exception' cannot be viewed because other code has been run. Stack Viewer should definitely be ignored when the debugger is active, and I see no need to let people select it *before* an exception occurs and the prompt is displayed. The next menu entry, Auto-open Stack Viewer, takes care of opening upon future exceptions. -- stage: - needs patch title: IDLE hangs with debug on and stack viewer - IDLE hangs when selecting Stack View with debug active ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23544 ___ -- Dr. Andrew N.

[issue21517] installer Python default setting fails with mac Python Launcher
Andrew Harrington added the comment: I see not messing with /usr/bin. Your note about Python Launcher would be a nice addition to the Mac installer notes. I would encourage that before closing this.

Python 3 installers set the symlink /usr/local/bin/python3 to the most recently installed version. The Python Launcher app has several open design issues, including whether it should be included at all. Currently, each version of Python (from python.org) installs its own copy of Python Launcher.app but they all share the same preference file. You can set the path to your preferred interpreter version by launching Python Launcher.app and then, in the Preferences pane, selecting the file type (e.g. Python Script) and typing the interpreter path into the Interpreter: text box (e.g. /usr/local/bin/python3.4), rather than using any of the preset defaults in the pulldown list. -- nosy: +ned.deily resolution: - works for me stage: - resolved status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21517 ___ -- Dr. Andrew N.

[issue21517] installer Python default setting fails with mac Python Launcher
New submission from Andrew Harrington: I installed Python 3.4 on my Mac (OSX 10.9.2), with the option to make python 3.4 my default python3, so which python3 prints /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/python3 which is fine. A terminal then brings up python 3.4, fine. However the Python Launcher uses /usr/bin/python3 and the Python 3,4 install script does not change that. (I had it pointing to python 3.3 before, and it remained that way after installing Python 3.4.) Since the Python Launcher is a pretty standard way to start Python, this would be nice to fix, or at least in the installer have a comment that the something more needs to be set! -- assignee: ronaldoussoren components: Macintosh messages: 218697 nosy: Andrew.Harrington, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: installer Python default setting fails with mac Python Launcher type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21517 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
