Ned Deily added the comment: The problem here occurs when IDLE on OS X is launched without an initial shell window, either by setting the option in IDLE preferences or from the command line (/usr/local/bin/idle -e) *and* IDLE detects that the version of Tk in use is one of the suspect OS X versions and is attempting to warn the user with this message in the shell window:
WARNING: The version of Tcl/Tk (8.5.9) in use may be unstable. Visit http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for current information. Unfortunately, that doesn't work if there is no shell window. The workaround is to follow the instructions at the above link and, if possible, install an up-to-date Tcl/Tk 8.5 from ActiveState. If that is not possible, then launch IDLE from the command line with an initial shell window: /usr/local/bin/idle2.7 -i and be sure to change the preference to always launch with a shell window. ---------- assignee: -> ned.deily nosy: +ned.deily stage: -> needs patch title: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'interp' -> IDLE on OS X fails with Attribute Error if no initial shell and Tk out-of-date versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18270> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
