Hi, I've finally known why .... By chance, I went to the installation directory : C:\Program Files\Python36\Lib\tkinter
to check on files. I did "EDIT with IDLE" on any files there. It all works ! Then, I went back to my directory where I put all my personal .py codes. It didn't work there. Finally, I've guessed and realized/tested that "EDIT with IDLE" doesn't work in my python directory because I have just recently made a file called : tkinter.py Somehow, this stops "EDIT with IDLE" from working if I try to "EDIT with IDLE" on any files in that directory/folder. After I rename it to mytkinter.py , things work normally now ! Weird ! Don't know exactly why ...?! Sorry to bother you guys ...

This way you can see the traceback if an exception is raised. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
