[issue4685] IDLE will not open (2.6.1 on WinXP pro)
Kurt B. Kaiser k...@shore.net added the comment: Couple of comments. First, your messages seem to indicate that you have both Python24 and Python26 installed. Although that shouldn't cause problems, it might in your case. If you are no longer using Python24, please uninstall it. First, open your Windows task manager and kill off any stale python processes. If IDLE won't start with the subprocess, that's usually the problem. Set IDLE to work with the subprocess, and try to reproduce your error. If it's still there, kill off any resulting stale python processes. Then, I'd really like to see the full error message if possible. Open a Windows Command shell, and run this: set test.log c:\Python26\python -m idlelib.idle test.log 21 Then reproduce the error, exit, and upload test.log to this tracker. IDLE works much better if you use the subprocess! -- nosy: +kbk ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue4685 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ilan idji...@yahoo.com added the comment: I basically have been running IDLE without the subprocess. (In C:\Python24\Lib\idlelib\PyShell.py and at line 1272 change use_subprocess = True to use_subprocess = False Save PyShell.py, restart IDLE, and you will see a message in the shell window that IDLE is now running without the subprocess.) It has been running fine since. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue4685 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue4685] IDLE will not open (2.6.1 on WinXP pro)
New submission from Ilan idji...@yahoo.com: Hello, I am new to programming... I installed Python a couple days ago with no problems. I used it quite a bit since I'm going through loads of tutorials. All of a sudden, it shut off, closed and will no longer open. This problem seems to be common, but none of the suggestions work. I uninstalled it and re-installed it to no avail. The command line works however. Suggestions? -- components: IDLE messages: 77982 nosy: Yo severity: normal status: open title: IDLE will not open (2.6.1 on WinXP pro) versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue4685 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
