Ned Deily added the comment: The "ls" shows that, for some reason, your home directory is owned by user "temp", not by user "ben". That's not good. Try doing this:
sudo chown ben /Users/ben/ But we're way past an IDLE or Python problem here. This is a basic Unix system administration issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17864> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
