Ned Deily added the comment: IDLE 3.x currently does not specify an explicit encoding when reading or writing the recent files list (~/.idlerc/recent-files.lst) and it defaults to "errors=strict". So IDLE 3.x is vulnerable to crashes if any of the recent files contain characters that can not

New submission from Brett Cannon : If you run ``test.regrtest -T`` you will discover that (at least) test_importlib and test_runpy prevent coverage data from being written out as 'trace' will try to find files which no longer exist. Both test suites create temp files, import them, and then del
