[issue6864] IDLE 2.6.1 locks up on Mac OS 10.6

Ned Deily added the comment: Now that ActiveState has released a version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 (8.5.9.2) for Mac OS X that is also an Aqua Cocoa Tk (like the Apple-supplied Tk 8.5.7 in 10.6) and supports 64-bit, versions of Python linked with the new ActiveTcl 8.5.9 do not display the problem reporte

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: According to Ronald (msg92914) and Ned (msg92923) this particular issue is 2.6 only (and fixed in 2.7 because of patches not backported). 2.6 is in security fix only mode. So unless someone claims that this is a security issue (and Barry agrees) or reports tha

Richard added the comment: Sorry to be obscure, Ronald. I mistook my configuration problem, described below for the original problem. But I can reproduce the problem with opening an existing file under IDLE, which is a segmentation fault. When opening a new window, I get a blank screen but no

Richard added the comment: I'm thinking that the Snow Leopard abort trap when invoking IDLE from the command line is a permissions problem somewhere because it works ok when invoked with sudo. The console displays an odd message "2010-08-07 20:38:23.375 Python[25858:170b] __CFServiceControlle

Ned Deily added the comment: I also can verify that the problem is not reproducible using a current trunk (2.7) and the 10.6 Apple Tk 8.5.7. Further testing of this issue with both Apple Tk 8.4.x and ActiveState Tk 8.4.19 on 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 has been hang-free. It looks like there were

[issue6864] IDLE 2.6.1 locks up on Mac OS 10.6

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: The problem is *not* reproducible using the trunk (2.7). I haven't been able to isolate the change that fixes the issue. As a quick hack I replaced _tkinter.so and Lib/idlelib/*.py in a 2.6 tree by the same files from the trunk. That didn't fix the issue, w

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: To explain my previous entry about shipping 8.4 and 8.5 versions of _tkinter, one way to implement this is: * Build two copies of _tkinter.so: _tkinter84.so and _tkinter85.so * Add _tkinter.py to Lib/plat-mac with the following contents: try: from

[issue6864] IDLE 2.6.1 locks up on Mac OS 10.6

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I agree that we should mention in the news file that Apple's version of Tk 8.5 in Snow Leopard causes problems with IDLE. W.r.t. Tk 8.4 vs. 8.5: the 2.6 binary releases will be linked to Tk 8.4 because of two reasons. Firstly all 2.6 releases upto now were l

[issue6864] IDLE 2.6.1 locks up on Mac OS 10.6

Kevin Walzer added the comment: I don't understand the logic of saying that IDLE in Python 2.6.3 will not support Tk 8.5 in any fashion when you say that it runs fine with ActiveState Tk 8.5. 8.4 is obsolete. The "new window hang" bug is specific to the version of Tk 8.5.7. If ActiveState's b

Ned Deily added the comment: Here's a status update: After testing 2.6.3-pre-rc1 with various combinations of Apple and ActiveState Tk 8.4 and 8.5 on 10.5 and 10.6, so far I have only seen the "new window hang" problem with Apple's Tk 10.5 (10.5.7) as supplied with 10.6 Snow Leopard. Althou

Kevin Walzer added the comment: Ronald: No, unfortunately I was never able to reproduce the bug in pure Tcl. I tried various examples with the Tk text widget. I also tried various examples with the text widget via Tkinter. Each time the text widget, cutting, pasting, etc. worked as expected.

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: kevin: do you know if there is a plain Tcl script that shows the bug? If there is we can file a bugreport with Apple that clearly shows a problem in the Tk framework and hence makes it more likely that the issue will get fixed. -- _

Kevin Walzer added the comment: The bug with the edit menu sounds like the same issues I noted in http://bugs.python.org/issue6463. I think it was related to something in Tk-Cocoa 8.5, which was resolved in a later build of Tk, and which is why I closed the bug. The build of Tk-Cocoa that shi

darkspork added the comment: I can confirm this as well. It also locks up when pasting text. The EDIT menu retains its glow, and the pasted text appears after a few seconds, along with another blank square window titled "idle". Idle then locks up. Using the scrollbar in any way (even by using
