Tal Einat added the comment: Any news on this? Ned, ISTM that we should create a separate issue to track your latest observation regarding double-click opening on macOS 11 Big Sur / IDLE 3.10.0a4 / Tcl/Tk 8.6.11. This is marked as "Critical" but given the discussion it seems that this

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: When I say that I am 99% sure that this is not an IDLE issue at all, I mean that I am 99% sure that a non-IDLE tkinter program registered as a working double-click handler in Mohave will not be properly invoked in Catalina. A counter-example might suggest

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: This is not really an IDLE issue; I only tagged it as such to make it easy for IDLE users to find. It might or not be a python-install Catalina-upgrade issue. It definitely is an Apple issue in that they care little for Python, nothing for tcl/tk, and
