[Tutor] IDLE
I’m a beginner. I downloaded Python and when I look at IDLE it tells me to update TCL. I downloaded updated Active TCL and installed it but can’t figure how to use update to get IDLE corrected. Any help? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

I seem to recall this used to be a common issue with MacOS. If you google for "IDLE MacOS Tcl" you should find several links telling you how to fix it. If not a Mac then I'm stumped it should all work fine. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

It seems what is on the web about this isn't simple enough, complete enough, or whatever. Just a note: it's not certain that you will ever hit the problems, and if you do, you certainly don't have to use IDLE to be happy and productive with Python. IDLE != Python. There are many many other editors/development environments that can be used. A bunch are listed on the Python wiki: https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] IDLE
I am a beginner and am using PyCharm as my editor. It’s great and free. It also provides some very nice courses that work within the editor.
