Adrian, I unchecked the Run —> Configure Working Directory (see attached .pdf file) as requested.
I then ran the test file and got the following: Python 2.7.8 (default, Aug 15 2014, 13:43:01) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 3.1 (tags/Apple/clang-318.0.61)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> runfile('/Users/cbhe/scripts/test_python.py') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'runfile' is not defined >>> I also found an IDL 'Python 2.7.9rc1 Shell’ window on the desktop showing: Python 2.7.9rc1 (v2.7.9rc1:40eada278702, Nov 25 2014, 17:25:50) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> WARNING: The version of Tcl/Tk (8.5.9) in use may be unstable. Visit http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for current information. I tried to replicate this but was unable to get the IDL window again. Perhaps the ‘unstable’ warning is a clue?
