[issue19684] IDLE on OS X 10.6.8 crashes when opening a file
Will Adams added the comment: For some reason I got the impression that this only applied to some graphics library routines so I ignored the warnings. Thanks for the reply and sorry to take your time.

OS X 10.6.x was the first release of the newer Aqua Cocoa Tk and it was very problematic. You should have seen a warning message when IDLE 2.7.6 started, warning you about this and advising you to go to http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for further information. (The warning is also on the download pages and in the installer Readme.) You will read there: you should only use IDLE or tkinter with an updated third-party Tcl/Tk 8.5, like ActiveTcl 8.5, installed. Do that and IDLE 2.7.6 should behave properly. -- resolution: - out of date stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19684 ___ -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19684 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
