Roger Serwy <roger.se...@gmail.com> added the comment: IDLE silently closing is due to issue13582.
On Linux (Ubuntu 11.04, Tk8.5) I can not specify "~template.py" for a filename for opening or saving a file. Clicking on either open or save produces no action. However, I can specify "~/template.py". On Win7 I see there error Terry describes. This is due to "Tilde Substitution" described here: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TclCmd/filename.htm#M20 Attached is a patch against 3.3 that escapes the initial tilde on Windows. The patch should be identical against 3.2 and 2.7. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file26390/tilde_escape.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15363> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
