Hello,
This is just a quick "me too." I am running Debian testing (Sarge), and IDLE is terribly unstable. It hangs frequently while in the middle of typing. I thought this was probably a library problem due to some mixing of distributions that I've done, but I now have a "pure" Sarge install and am seeing exactly this same behavior. I have basically told my students to use Emacs or Eclipse instead. A shame, because I really like IDLE, when it works.
Is this just a Debian issue, or is it a general problem on Linux (Tk library, perhaps?).

hello, have any of you experienced this ? This has been going on intermittently for quite some time, I have no idea what causes it. What can I do to help debug the problem or find out the cause ? Enclosed below is a more or less accurate log of IDLE freezes, and as you can see I went for a few months where it didn't crash. I am wondering if this all has to do with how IDLE interacts with Debian system. I am on Debian unstable and I do once a week apt-get updates and apt-get dist-upgrades.
15OCT2004 2:06pm while testing code to see if convertListToString is necessary Debian Sarge Python IDLE just froze on me again pressing keys does nothing, unresponsive, total loss of data second time this has happened to me only thing I can do is kill -9 the process
and it pisses me off, this is the third time I can remember where Python IDLE just crashes on me, just freezes up and is non-responsive and I have to kill -9 the process and reboot and reload everything I've done up to this point this occurred while I was typing up experiment re looping through two lists where len(eachList) was different, what would happen in such a case ? 01NOV2004 10:29am IDLE froze, apt-get removed, rebooted system, then apt-get installed
01NOV2004 11:43am IDLE just crashed again
12NOV2004 1:57pm ok, so after another event where IDLE froze, I must say I am very dissatisfied with this Debian install, because the copy paste between xemacs buffers leaves much to be desired and the IDLE freezes for no apparent reason. I will have to do another migration.
14FEB2005 3:25pm just tooling around on IDLE and it froze, now I have to kill -9 the process and restart it
14FEB2005 6:24pm IDLE froze again, just when I was getting to some test runs AARRGH! This hang occurred after I upgraded to IDLE 2.3.5-1 after the last hang.
