I am a new Python user and have started to explore a few of its basic
capabilities using IDLE
I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard ( version 10.6.4 )
with Python Version 2.6.1
Tk Version 8.5
IDLE Version 2.6.1
If I launch IDLE and enter Python statements in the initial window that
is presented, all seems fine.
However, if, in the IDLE session, I invoke the menu item File > New Window
a new window does appear, but I can not type anything into it, and,
worse yet, can not type anything into
the original IDLE session window either, and have to do a force quit.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to properly use the File >
New Window feature of IDLE on the Mac?
I'm not an IDLE user, sorry, but I do know there are some issues with TK
versions on OS-X. I'd ask on the pythonmac list:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
someone there is likely to be able to help.
Or just use something other than IDLE. I use the command line, iPython
and the Peppy editor myself.
