[issue15574] IDLE crash in OS X even with 2.7.3 and ActiveTcl 8.5.12
New submission from Leon Maurer: I'm getting crashes with IDLE like those that have been reported before (e.g. by trying to copy using Command-C), but I followed (or at least tried to follow) the directions at http://www.python.org/getit/mac/tcltk/ and have installed Python 2.7.3 64-bit/32-bit and ActiveTcl 8.5.12. I've attached the crash log. I believe the following lines shows that I am using Tk 8.5.12 and not Apple's buggy version: 0x671000 - 0x76fff7 +Tk 8.5.12 (8.5.12) /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk Thanks. -- components: IDLE files: IDLE crash.rtf messages: 167624 nosy: Leon.Maurer priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: IDLE crash in OS X even with 2.7.3 and ActiveTcl 8.5.12 type: crash versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file26722/IDLE crash.rtf ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue15574> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Leon Maurer added the comment: Thanks for the quick response. I don't have access to an older version of ActiveTcl, but in truth, I'm mostly relieved that it's not just me. (I spent a long time trying to figure out why some Tkinter code I had written would work on Linux and Windows but not OS X...) -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue15574> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue15574] IDLE crashes using clipboard copy command on OS X with ActiveTcl 8.5.12
Leon Maurer added the comment: Thanks for the update. IDLE does indeed work for me now. Unfortunately, the program I was trying to get working under OS X still has lots of problems. At least it doesn't crash due to copy and paste anymore. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue15574> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue16941] TkInter won't update display on OS X if delay is too small
New submission from Leon Maurer: I'm running in to a problem where TkInter won't update the display on OS X. I've attached a simple piece of code that has this problem, and I've also made a short screen-cast of the problem: https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/lnmaurer/web/updatebug/updatebug.mov The program is simple -- basically a big canvas with a some text in the middle that counts up. The screen-cast has three parts. First, it shows the program working as it should. Then, I add a simple background image to the canvas (a black rectangle), and the interface refuses to refresh at all; I get a spinning beach ball wheel (although that doesn't show up in the screen-cast). Then, I increase the delay between updates, and the interface refreshes as it should. The middle case, where the interface becomes totally unresponsive, is a bug. I haven't been able to reproduce this problem under Linux or Windows; I've only run in to it on OS X. Also, the size of the canvas and image matters; if I make them small enough, the interface won't freeze up. Computer and software information: OS X 10.6.8 Python 2.7.3 ActiveTcl 8.5.13 PIL 1.1.7 MacBookPro5,5 w/ 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo (so a machine that's kind of slow by today's standards -- maybe faster machines won't run in to this problem, but this machine doesn't have the problem when running Windows or Linux) -- components: Tkinter files: bugtest.py messages: 179769 nosy: Leon.Maurer priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: TkInter won't update display on OS X if delay is too small versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file28704/bugtest.py ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue16941> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue16941] TkInter won't update display on OS X if delay is too small
Leon Maurer added the comment: It seems to depend on what you're doing. Plus, the delay I needed turned an already slow animation in to a slide show. In this case, a better fix seems to be sticking a "root.update()" right before the "root.after". Then it works with no delay. However, apparently it's a little dangerous to use: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2013-January/003346.html In my case, the only side effect seems to be that using the menu effectively pauses the simualtion. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue16941> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
