Sophia K. Cheng sophia.ch...@gmail.com added the comment: Hi Ned, Thanks for the patch, I appreciate it. Sadly, I've since upgraded my laptop to Win 7, and don't seem to be having the problem anymore :-/ , so I can't verify. But thank you for writing a patch.

Sophia K. Cheng sophia.ch...@gmail.com added the comment: Thanks!! This worked perfectly! Finally got around to trying this out today.

I use Python 2.5.2 on Windows XP. This is my solution: 1. Choose Tool-Folder Option in your explorer menu, then click View tab, uncheck use simple file sharing(recommended). 2. Right click on C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\.idlerc folder, then click property, you got the folder property dialog 3. Click Safety tab, you may found there's only System user in the list. Click Add and add type your username, then click OK. 4. Select your name in the list, enable all the permissions in the box below. Now this problem should be fixed. Hope this works. -- nosy: +timium ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue4625 ___ -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue4625 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue4625] IDLE won't open anymore, .idlerc unaccessible
New submission from Sophia K. Cheng [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, I was able to run IDLE once or twice on my laptop. Then I downloaded kiki and tried to run it but had forgotten to install wxPython. After that, IDLE no longer opens although the command prompt does still work. I get the following error: C:\Python25python.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.py Traceback (most recent call last): File Lib\idlelib\idle.py, line 21, in module idlelib.PyShell.main() File C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py, line 1404, in main shell = flist.open_shell() File C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py, line 275, in open_shell self.pyshell = PyShell(self) File C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py, line 813, in __init__ OutputWindow.__init__(self, flist, None, None) File C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\OutputWindow.py, line 16, in __init__ EditorWindow.__init__(self, *args) File C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\EditorWindow.py, line 248, in __init__ self.update_recent_files_list() File C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\EditorWindow.py, line 715, in update_recent_fil es_list rf_file = open(self.recent_files_path, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\skcheng\\.id lerc\\recent-files.lst' I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times 2.5 and also 2.6. When I look at the folder .idlerc in windows explorer, I get an error each time I click on it that access is denied, even though I am running as administrator on my laptop. I have tried uninstalling Python and deleting the .idlerc folder. I have also tried manually unchecking the read-only property for the folder. I have a Lenovo T400 that is built for Windows Vista, but am running Windows XP. Thank you. -- components: IDLE messages: 77588 nosy: skcheng severity: normal status: open title: IDLE won't open anymore, .idlerc unaccessible versions: Python 2.5.3 ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue4625 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
