This might be the problem. What do other Mac apps do? That is not the problem.

SaveAs on macOS Catalina.
https://bugs.python.org/issue40553 At least a couple of people have had problems using SaveAs from IDLE when running on macOS Catalina. But Ned Deily cannot reproduce the issue. I cannot because I have refused the buggy 'upgrade'. We could use more data. What do other Catalina Python users experience? If not an IDLE user, the experiment is easy. In terminal: $ python3 -m idlelib In IDLE: File => New File => SaveAs In the macOS saveas dialog: Enter a minimal name that does not match an existing .py name in Documents. Hit [Save] button. Does the dialog save and close, or does it clear the Document content list and freeze? The three Apple apps I looked at, Safari, Maps, and Keynote do not display folder contents. This might be the problem. What do other Mac apps do? -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
