Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Win 7, console 2.7.5+, 32 bit, compiled Aug 24, does not have the problem. Idle started with 'import idlelib.idle' does, but only for 'print foo', as Tim reported. When I close the hung process with [X], there is no error message in the console. Installed 64bit 2.7.5 fails with 'print foo' also. I actually used F and f instead of Foo and foo, so it is not name specific. A subclass of str works fine.
Current 3.4a4 Idle works fine. The SO OP also reported that there is no problem is the class is imported from another file. We need a test on something other than Windows, preferably both mac and linux. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19481> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
