[issue10537] OS X IDLE 2.7rc1 from 64-bit installer hangs when you paste something.
Ned Deily n...@acm.org added the comment: More data points: using the 2.7.1 release source tarball, the problem is reproducible on 10.6 when dynamically linked to the Apple Tcl/Tk 8.5 and executing in either 64-bit or 32-bit mode. It is not reproducible when using ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5.9, AS Tcl/Tk 8.4.19, or Apple Tcl/Tk 8.4 (none of which, of course, is available in 64-bit mode). Unfortunately, the obvious workaround for the 64-bit/32-bit variant - building with one of the working 32-bit versions - does not result in a working IDLE.app or bin/idle since IDLE and its subprocesses are all launched in 64-bit mode (where possible) on 10.6. For testing, it is possible to demonstrate 32-bit mode in a 64-/32- build with a properly built _tkinter.so by using the -n parameter, which causes IDLE to run with no subprocesses: arch -i386 /usr/local/bin/idle2.7 -n Next step: see if the Issue6075 patches help with the Apple 8.5 Tk and, if not, add stuff to force both IDLE.app and bin/idle and their subprocesses to run only in 32-bit mode: probably either some more lipo-ing and/or adding posix_spawns. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10537 ___ ___ 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: Ned: I was thinking of Issue6075 The patch in that issue needs work, IIRC I was pretty sure at the time that the patch was too large and changed more code that it should have. Sadly enough I have barely had time to do any open-source work at all the last couple of weeks, I should have some time before the end of the year... -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10537 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ned Deily n...@acm.org added the comment: Regardless of the root cause, I really hate to see 2.7.1 go out with this unresolved. As it stands, IDLE was broken in the 2.7 64-bit OS X installer for 2.7 and, as it stands, is still broken. And whether it is an Apple Tk problem or not (which remains to be determined), there are workarounds that could be applied - like having a 32-bit-only IDLE built with Aqua Tk 8.4 as the 32-bit installers do. -- nosy: +benjamin.peterson ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10537 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ned Deily n...@acm.org added the comment: This appears to be another variant of the IDLE, OS X 10.6, 64-bit, Apple-supplied Tk 8.5 problems. As a workaround, you can re-install 2.7rc1 using the 32-bit-only installer; IDLE there does not exhibit these problems. -- assignee: - ned.deily components: +Macintosh nosy: +ned.deily, ronaldoussoren priority: normal - critical stage: - needs patch title: IDLE crashes when you paste something. - OS X IDLE 2.7rc1 from 64-bit installer hangs when you paste something. ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10537 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
