Package: idle Version: 2.5.2-1 Severity: important idle-PYVER.menu.in and idle.desktop.in both call idle with the -n switch. This causes IDLE to run without its subprocess.
IDLE has been enhanced to run user code from scratch in a fresh environment with each Run/F5. This eliminates inconsistencies caused by modules not being reloaded manually, and considerably shortens the edit/run cycle for the user. The -n switch is only intended for special situations, e.g. developing IDLE with IDLE, or not re-initializing a robot interfaced to IDLE. Is there some reason that Debian's package is configured this way? http://bugs.python.org/issue2755 -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages idle depends on: ii python 2.5.2-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-tk 2.5.2-1 Tkinter - Writing Tk applications idle recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
