Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment: Now that ActiveState has released a version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 (8.5.9.2) for Mac OS X that is also an Aqua Cocoa Tk (like the Apple-supplied Tk 8.5.7 in 10.6) and supports 64-bit, versions of Python linked with the new ActiveTcl 8.5.9 do not display the problem reported here as well as a number of other problems reported elsewhere. Unfortunately, as released, the Apple-supplied Python 2.6.1 in 10.6 links only to the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5. Unless Apple releases an updated version of their Tcl/Tk 8.5, the best solution is to avoid using the IDLE 2.6 supplied with OS X 10.6.
There is now a webpage that summarizes the somewhat confusing state of affairs with regard to Tcl/Tk support with Python on Mac OS X. While it is focused on Python installers downloadable from python.org, it does mention the Apple IDLE 2.6.1 problems: http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ ---------- assignee: ronaldoussoren -> ned.deily resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6864> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
