[issue19491] Python Crashing When Saving Documents
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I am closing this on the theory that the problem has been fixed by one of the many crash fixers since 3.2. There is certainly insufficient information to act on. Currently, a problem would have to be demonstrated with 3.4 (or possible 2.7). -- resolution: - fixed stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19491 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue19491] Python Crashing When Saving Documents
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Exactly what are people doing in the save dialog when they have problems? If they are saving to a standard path under Computer (on the left side bar), there should be no problem. If they are saving to some place listed under Libraries, such as Documents, then this is a known problem in 3.2 that was fixed in 3.3 by using a later version of Tk. See #12988 (and #14996). If this is the case, this issue is a duplicate and should be closed. Your description of Idle 'freezing', rather than closing, sounds like this is the same issue. Ask the Pygame people to prepare a 3.3 binary and one for 3.4 as soon as it is released (or even now, for the upcoming beta). --- When Idle closes, rather than freezing, you should be able to get error messages, without access to Command Prompt, by running the standard white-on-black, text-mode python.exe interpreter in interactive mode. In the interpreter window, start Idle in a new window like so: import idlelib.idle While using Idle, nothing should appear in in the original window, though there may be some TclError messages that can be ignored. When Idle stops, a prompt will appear in the original window. If Idle stops abnormally, a trackback and error message should appear before the prompt. Note that the above only works on the first import. If you repeat import idlelib.idle the code in idlelib.idle does not get rerun and Idle will not start. You have to exit and restart python.exe. In order for Idle to run, python.exe has to be present somewhere. But if it has been hidden or somehow blocked, you can try the same thing as above but from an Idle Shell window. In other words, start a second Idle Shell from the first. I just cannot guarantee that this will work as well. If it does, the import will work again after Cntl-F6, Shell/Restart Shell. -- nosy: +terry.reedy ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19491 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

STINNER Victor added the comment: There doesn't seem to be a Pygame version for 3.3 on the pygame webpage? Can't you try just to reproduce the crash in IDLE without installing pygame?

New submission from Carolyn Reed: The ICT teacher at the school I work at has reported that frequently students are experiencing their Python software crashing when they attempt to save files. No error message is reported, the software just freezes. They are using the IDLE GUI Python v 3.2.4 on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. Please advise. -- components: IDLE messages: 202103 nosy: carolyn.r...@talktalk.net priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python Crashing When Saving Documents type: crash versions: Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19491 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

STINNER Victor added the comment: Could you try to collect more information, like an error message, or better a traceback? Do you get a Windows popup like program crashed? Try to run IDLE from the command line, not from the icon, to get the traceback. -- nosy: +haypo ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19491 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
