That is encouraging. This is almost certainly a problem with Tk. The Cocoa
Tcl/Tk 8.5 used by Apple and ActiveState has been known to have issues with
composite characters. There are a couple of IDLE things to ask about first.
Have you made any Custom Key Bindings for IDLE? Or added any IDLE extensions?
Both of these would show up in your ~/.idlerc directory.
On to Tk-related questions: Which OS X keyboard layout are you using? Are you
using any Input Methods? (Both of these options are shown in System
Preferences.) What keystrokes are used for the menu shortcuts that cause the
hang? And, by hang, you mean that menu item changes color indicating that it
is selected but IDLE freezes at that point?
If you have the time and feel comfortable doing so, it would be helpful to know
if the same problems are displayed using the older Carbon Tcl/Tk 8.4. You
could temporarily move your current 2.7 installation out of the way by doing
this in a Terminal shell:
cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
sudo mv 2.7 2.7-SAVED
cd /Applications
sudo mv Python\ 2.7 Python\ 2.7-SAVED
and then downloading and installing the 32-bit-only (10.3+) 2.7.2 installer
from python.org. It is not necessary to install an ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.4 for
this. Note that if you have migrated to OS X 10.7 already, you probably will
not want to stay with this version because it is not easy with Xcode 4 to
install third-party Python packages that require building C extension modules.
You can restore your previous Python by:
cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
sudo mv 2.7-SAVED 2.7
cd /Applications
sudo mv Python\ 2.7-SAVED Python\ 2.7
