Ned Deily added the comment: This is a duplicate of 18270. As explained there, the workaround is to follow the instructions at http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ and, if possible, install an up-to-date Tcl/Tk 8.5 from ActiveState. If that is not possible, then launch IDLE from the command line with an initial shell window:
/usr/local/bin/python3.3 -m idlelib -i and be sure to change the preference to always launch with a shell window. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily resolution: -> duplicate stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed superseder: -> IDLE on OS X fails with Attribute Error if no initial shell and Tk out-of-date title: IDLE can't be launch -> IDLE can't be launched type: compile error -> _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19937> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
