change syntax coloring in IDLE
I am using mac with python 2.5.2 and IDLE verison 1.2.2. in the help it states I can change he text coloring by using Configure IDLE but I not sure what this is. It's not sn the menu, running Configure does nothing. How do I change the color (text and background) Thanks Vincent Davis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I am using EPD with Py2.5 4.0.30002when I try to launch IDLE.app which is in the above folder i get -bash: IDLE.app: command not found which is strange because when I do ls it is listed. the path to the folder is /Applications/EPD\ with\ Py2.5\ 4.0.30002 ls returns Build Applet.app Mayavi.terminal Docs Pylab.terminal Examples Python Launcher.app Extras Update Shell Profile.command IDLE.app Then I do/get vincent-daviss-macbook-pro:EPD with Py2.5 4.0.30002 vmd$ IDLE.app -bash: IDLE.app: command not found Not sure what I am doing wrong Is the a way do download a new version of IDLE.app? That last part is ugh!

You could use /usr/bin/open but that should give the same results as double-clicking on the IDLE icon. I don't have personal experience with EPD distribution but there should be a command line binary of idle included. Try this from a Terminal shell: $ cd `python -c 'import sys; print sys.prefix'` $ bin/idle If you can change and save the preferences that way, they should then apply to IDLE no matter how you launch it. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
