[issue23544] IDLE hangs when selecting Stack View with debug active

Tal Einat added the comment: Taking this in a different direction, perhaps we can make the stack viewer always work, regardless of whether it is immediately after an exception? Visually inspecting the stack can be useful not just for understanding error cases. -- nosy: +taleinat __

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I agree that 'Stack Viewer' does not explain what this does, which is to gives a more detail view of the stack and name bindings after an exception. The doc entry does not either. I will consider 'Stack Trace' or maybe 'Exception Review'. I think a popup me

[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. Bette
