Jump to PostCan you run python idle.py from a terminal ? It would give you the error message ... (I never used a mac)
Jump to PostThere is a known problem with tkinter on that version of Mac OS (32 versus 4 bit problem). http://bugs.python.org/issue9227
Jump to PostUm I don't use tkinter but as for running idle.py I try to run it and it gives me no such directory error.
can you post the full traceback ?
Jump to PostLibrary/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'idle.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
thats itidle.py should be in idlelib. Try this in a python interpreter
>>> import idlelib >>> print(idlelib.__file__)
it should give you the path to idlelib.
