python - Why does Idle keep crashing? (Mac) -
i installed python 2.6 on mac os x (snow leopard) , when start idle keeps quitting!
i removed installations of python by: rm -rf /library/frameworks/python.framework
and re-installed , still same problem :(
any ideas might be?
thanks
you undoubtedly using version of python dynamically linking apple-supplied tcl/tk 8.5 in os x 10.6. version of tcl/tk flawed. there several easy ways avoid problem, simplest being install current python 2.7 (or out-of-date 2.6) installer python.org and, 64-bit/32-bit installers, install up-to-date activetcl 8.5. there more information here.
i should add that, while far common problem idle on os x 10.6, possible there cause. take @ system.log (with console.app
) launching idle.app or start idle shell , see error messages being reported.
