Category: IDLE Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: dani (daniboy22) >Assigned to: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Summary: IDLE doesn't load - apparently without firewall problems Initial Comment: I've installed Python in Windows XP, SP2. When I ran IDLE for the first times, it worked ok. But then I redefined some shorcuts (history-previous, history-next, and expand-word). This also worked ok, but there was a problem I wasn't expecting: I changed the history-previous to the short-cut <Ctrl> + P, and when I use it for the first time it printed the content of the window... I forgot that this shorcut was already in use... Then came the real problem. I went to redefine the history-previous to another key set, but each time I clicked for "oK" for the new keys, the shell wrote some errors in red (-/+ 7/8 lines). I did that a few times until I closed IDLE and tried to restarted it again. Then it stop working. The only thing it does now is to show the hourglass logo in the mouse pointer for a few seconds and then it does not do anything else. I've installed Python in its default path (C:\Python25), and tried to switch off all the firewalls I remembered (Windows Firewall and disabled McAfee Virus Scan). None of that worked. I tried several times to reinstall the software, but that didn't work either. I even tried to install a previous version of Python (v2.4.3), but it had exactly the same problem. I haven't found any similar problem on the web. Thanks, Dani ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kurt B.

Now IDLE should start. Try to recreate the problem and post any error messages you see here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jordanramz (jordanramz) Date: 2006-09-22 17:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1604497 I am having the same problem. When I first installed it, it ran okay. Now everytime I go back to run it, the hourglass on my mouse shows up for a few seconds and then nothing. At first I had v2.4.3 because that's what we're using in my class, but I tried v2.5(final) thinking it would help, but it didn't, so I reinstalled v2.4.3. I noticed that with my task manager in view, when I click the IDLE program my processes jump up one number for a few seconds also, then goes back. So apparently it's running but then ending before it loads up? I tried messing with my firewall and stuff also, with no success, so I'm in the same boat as you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1563630&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
