Category: IDLE Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: dani (daniboy22) Assigned to: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Summary: IDLE doesn't load - apparently without firewall problems Initial Comment: I've installed Python in Windows XP, SP2. When I ran IDLE for the first times, it worked ok. But then I redefined some shorcuts (history-previous, history-next, and expand-word). This also worked ok, but there was a problem I wasn't expecting: I changed the history-previous to the short-cut <Ctrl> + P, and when I use it for the first time it printed the content of the window... I forgot that this shorcut was already in use... Then came the real problem. I went to redefine the history-previous to another key set, but each time I clicked for "oK" for the new keys, the shell wrote some errors in red (-/+ 7/8 lines). I did that a few times until I closed IDLE and tried to restarted it again. Then it stop working. The only thing it does now is to show the hourglass logo in the mouse pointer for a few seconds and then it does not do anything else. I've installed Python in its default path (C:\Python25), and tried to switch off all the firewalls I remembered (Windows Firewall and disabled McAfee Virus Scan). None of that worked. I tried several times to reinstall the software, but that didn't work either. I even tried to install a previous version of Python (v2.4.3), but it had exactly the same problem. I haven't found any similar problem on the web.

I just had some problems to rename it (it didn't accepted a name starting with a "."), but I resolve it (I rename it to "pinga"). Concerning your problem, my hint is that your account is not an administrator one. Try to enter as an administrator and make the necessary changes. Or else change the permissions of your account to the "administrator" type (ask someone that is already an administrator on that computer to do that). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jordanramz (jordanramz) Date: 2006-10-02 22:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1604497 Thanks for that, I found it. However, I guess I'm not as skilled with the computer as I thought... It won't let me change the name, open the folder etc. It says access is denied. Know why it's doing that when I try to modify it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: dani (daniboy22) Date: 2006-10-02 14:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1604341 Dear kbk, I tried your solution and everything seems to work fine. I even recreated the problem (with the details that I still remember), and everything is OK. Many thanks! Dani P.S. For jordanramz: the .idlerc folder can be found in the directory c:\Documents and Settings (assuming you installed Windows on C:), and then selecting the folder corresponding to your ID (say, "jordanramz"). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: dani (daniboy22) Date: 2006-10-02 14:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1604341 Dear kbk, I tried your solution and everything seems to work fine.

Kaiser (kbk) Date: 2006-10-01 02:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=149084 Use the task manager to kill all Python processes. Then set aside your .idlerc customization folder (i.e. rename it). Now IDLE should start. Try to recreate the problem and post any error messages you see here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jordanramz (jordanramz) Date: 2006-09-22 21:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1604497 I am having the same problem. When I first installed it, it ran okay. Now everytime I go back to run it, the hourglass on my mouse shows up for a few seconds and then nothing. At first I had v2.4.3 because that's what we're using in my class, but I tried v2.5(final) thinking it would help, but it didn't, so I reinstalled v2.4.3. I noticed that with my task manager in view, when I click the IDLE program my processes jump up one number for a few seconds also, then goes back. So apparently it's running but then ending before it loads up? I tried messing with my firewall and stuff also, with no success, so I'm in the same boat as you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1563630&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
