You might have a mismatch between Python 2.7 and 3.4. When you start python, it should show the version. My instructions will install it for 3.4.
I have students use Wing 101 IDE. They need to go into the "configure python" menu item and point it to Python 3.4. I forget the exact path, but if you type: "which python3" on a terminal window it will spit out something like /usr/local/something/something/python3 I type that into the Wing "Configure Python" dialog box (under "edit" I think) and it restarts python with 3.4 and pygame. I don't mess with IDLE anymore. Paul Vincent Craven On Thu, Sep 3, 2015 at 2:57 PM, Bob Irving <bob...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Paul. Thanks for the reply!
