Broke my IDLE!

Adam W.

2/5/2008 4:50:00 PM

I did a stupid thing and "wrote in" <Up-Arrow> under the advance key
bindings section, and after hitting apply I got a load of exceptions.
Now my shell wont open and my IDEL wont start anymore.... I
uninstalled and reinstalled Python with no luck, the whacked settings
must be lingering around somewhere. Its python 2.5.1 and its on Vista
if that helps.

Tried running IDEL from the command prompt to get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw", line 21, in <module>

File "c:\Python25\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1404, in main

What do I need to edit and change?

IIRC IDLE leaves some config files lying around in whatever was the
current directory when it was executed. I think they're named idle.rc
but I don't have a working install around to check on. It's possible
that you need to clear these out to remove the binding.

I finally found away around it myself, I commented out line 1357 in lib
\lib-tk\Tkinter.py that told it to call the settings, after I did that
it fired right up, I went into the bindings and selected the default,
closed out, uncommented that line, and I was back in buisness.

Slightly off-topic, but tangentially relevant and amusing if you haven't
seen it before.

I'm especially find of the 370 JCL entry, reminding me as it does of why
I left the world of corporate employment.

Anyone know how to get idle working on OSX 10.5 (Leopard) ?

Just to clarify my earlier comment...

IDLE (on Windows, at least) creates a folder called .idlerc in the
current directory when it is called. If you amend the key bindings
two files, config-keys.cfg and config-main.cfg are created. config-
keys.cfg contains the amended key bindings and config-main.cfg
contains the name of the key binding file if it is not the platform
default.

The config processing seems to happen in <python_root>/Lib/idlelib/
configHandler.py.

Sorry for the inaccuracy in the first post,

Cheers,

Kev
