Assuming you are using the "Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit x86-64/i386 Installer
(2.7.1) for Mac OS X 10.6", note that the download page was updated sometime
ago to include the following warning: "[You may not be able to run IDLE or use
Tkinter with this installer] and refers you to:
http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/
As noted there, there are problems with using IDLE with that installer; the
recommended solutions there are to either install the most recent ActiveState
Tcl/Tk 8.5.9 and a newer version of the 2.7.x 64-bit/32-bit installer (2.7.2rc1
is currently available, the final 2.7.2 version is expected to be available
later in June).
http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.2/
Or switch to the 32-bit-only 2.7.1 installer for OS X which does not link with
the problematic Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5.
If this does not solve the problems you are seeing, please re-open and supply
more information about exactly which Python you are using and the errant
behavior.
