New submission from Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk>: Reported by a user. Reported on Windows but probably not Windows specific.
If IDLE doesn't have permission to read the recent-files.lst file then it crashes. (When launched with pythonw.exe on Windows it silently fails to open with no error message to the user.) As the recent file list isn't "core functionality", IDLE should be able to run without access to this file. Attached is a screenshot of the traceback when IDLE is launched from the console. ---------- components: IDLE files: Python problem.JPG messages: 150327 nosy: michael.foord priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: IDLE won't open if it can't read recent-files.lst versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24103/Python problem.JPG _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13675> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
