[Pythonmac-SIG] IDLE and MacPython 2.5
I downloaded Python 2.5 yesterday and am having a problem with the included IDLE. If I launch IDLE by double-clicking, it shows up in the task bar, then immediately goes away. I see no windows, menus, etc. for the program. If I type IDLE at the command line, IDLE 1.2 launches with no problem. The icon in the task bar appears to be Python Launcher in that case, not IDLE. If I launch the IDLE.app from MacPython 2.4 by double-clicking, it launches IDLE 1.1.3 with no problems. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is IDLE.app broken under MacPython 2.5? While I can launch it from terminal, it is definitely more convenient to just double-click. I am using IDLE because I have been working my way through the O'Reilly Learning Python book at a glacial pace over the last year or more and it is nice to have a simple Python-aware interactive editor. -Rodney -- Rodney SomersteinAlways remember that you are unique...

IDLE works for me. Could you tell me more about the version of OSX you're using (and if 10.4, if you're on intel or ppc). For the record, if you are running 10.3.9: IDLE uses Tk for its GUI, you'll have to download and install that seperately: http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/ This doesn't seem to be a problem for you as launching IDLE from the command-line works right.

I am using the latest update to Mac OS X (I believe that is 10.4.8). This is on a PowerBook G4 1.5, so PPC, not Intel. As you state, it doesn't appear to be Tk, since everything starts from the command line. When I launch the 2.4 IDLE (version 1.1.3) by double-clicking, I get a console window which opens in addition to the IDLE window. When I select this, the menus change to show that I am using Tk. I don't see this additional window when launching the new IDLE from the command line. Does this shed any light on the problem?

The 2.5 version of IDLE contains some code to close this console window. Could you open Console.app, clear the log and then try to start IDLE again? Hopefully IDLE runs into a problem that gets written to the console log. Ronald ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

[Pythonmac-SIG] Saving a file???
Hi All,
I'm trying to create and save a new OmniOutliner doc, but I'm having
some trouble trying to figure out what to pass as the _in parameter.
Any suggestions? A script snippet is below.
Thanks,
Tom
from appscript import app,k
oo = app("OmniOutliner")
d = oo.documents.end.make(new=k.document)
#...
#add rows, etc...
#...
#newFile doesn't exist yet, so the following doesn't work:
#from Carbon.File import FSSpec
#newFile = FSSpect("/tmp/aNewFile")
oo.save(d,in_=newFile)

Here is what I see when I double-click on IDLE:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] IDLE and MacPython 2.5
For what it' worth, perhaps to save you some time, I recently spent a day evaluating these tools. Horses for courses, but for me: TextWrangler is a freebie BBEditLite - a very nice word-processor which is keyword aware; SPE is a full-blown development environment which includes wxglade interface to wxwindows I found it difficult to 'grock' quickly but it could be good ScrIDE is 1/2 way between. I opted for ScrIDE - it's simple to use (ie no manual necessary) and stable. + using wxglade indpendently for wxwidget development. My config: intel OSX 10.4.8 MacPython 2.4.3 If anyone's using MacPython + wxglade into scrIDE and can report it AOK I'd be pleased to hear.
