Ned Deily added the comment:
Something that comes to mind: the stack traces in both issues show similar
crashes where Tk is calling into OS X AppKit to create or modify a window.
Since a left paren is being typed, it seems to me the most likely scenario is
that the left paren is completing a recognized token and IDLE is attempting to
display a calltip (Lib/idlelib/CallTipWindow.py). That shouldn't be a problem,
of course. Also, note the exception class: NSInternalInconsistencyException.
That sounds suspicious. I've found a few other reports, all from 10.8, of
other non-Tk, non-Python apps with similar crashes. I'm still not able to
reproduce it myself. Both reports here were with 10.8.2 and with ActiveTcl
8.5.11 or .12. Can anyone reproduce the crash with the current 10.8.3 and
ActiveTcl 8.5.13, which does contain some significant fixes for OS X? And
also, if so, verify that it is a calltip causing the problem? To check that,
in either an IDLE shell or edit window, typing ( at the beginning of a line sh
ould not cause a calltip to be created so, if there is a connection, there
should not be a crash. But then typing something like "open(" should cause a
calltip to be created. A crash of this sort is almost certainly a problem in
either OS X or in Tk and not Python. In any case, if we can't find a way to
reproduce the problem reliably, there isn't much we can do about it.
