Thank you for the advice! I checked the setting you specified and Open Shell
Window at startup was already selected. Is there another bug this could be
related to?
Thank you!

I've been learning Python over the past week or so and I keep running into
an issue where opening saved files will crash IDLE (not consistently,
sometimes the same files with no changes will open and sometimes not). I
was originally running Python 3.2.3, but I removed it and upgraded to
3.3.0 hoping to resolve the issue (but to no avail). While
troubleshooting, someone suggested I try opening IDLE via command prompt.
When I do that IDLE never crashes, but It does show this error

Your posts are easier to deal with if you provide tracebacks as text.
Here's what I get:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File /usr/local/lib/python3.3/tkinter/__init__.py, line 1442, in
__call__
return self.func(*args)
File /usr/local/lib/python3.3/idlelib/MultiCall.py, line 174, in handler
doafterhandler.pop()()
File /usr/local/lib/python3.3/idlelib/MultiCall.py, line 221, in
lambda
doit = lambda: self.bindedfuncs[triplet[2]][triplet[0]].remove(func)
ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list
Some additional info:
- When IDLE crashes it does not display an error, every open window simply
closes. - IDLE has never crashed after opening a file when I open it via
command prompt, even if it was previously consistently displaying that
behavior. - I am running Windows 7 x64 with all updates.
Has anyone ever encountered this? What does the error mean?
This looks like the following bug:

You might be able to work around it by selecting the
At Startup Open Shell Window option under
Options--Configure IDLE--General--Startup Preferences
