Roger Serwy added the comment: Terry, I am unable to reproduce this error under Win7 Ultimate (no SP1) with either the 32-bit or 64-bit install of 2.7.3. Calling help() produces an interactive prompt in all my test cases. I launched IDLE from the start menu shortcut, with "python.exe -m idlelib.idle", and "pythonw.exe -m idlelib.idle".
Running IDLE without a subprocess doesn't trigger the bug either. IDLE 2.7.3 works as well on Arch Linux with 2.7.3 (64-bit). (Also, I get a blinking vertical bar for the cursor, not an underscore on Win7. This minor detail is likely not relevant, only provided since it is an observed difference.) Does raw_input() work from a regular python shell for you? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16103> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
