Ned Deily added the comment: At least on some platforms (e.g. OS X), it is easy to create files with legitimate names containing code points above the BMP limit (<= U+FFFF) currently imposed by Tcl/Tk. For IDLE 3, I suspect _filename_to_unicode() in EditorWindow could be modified to check for such cases to prevent problems if such file names end up in recent-files.lst. That might not be sufficient: there may be other problematic places. I also was able to crash a current IDLE 2.7 just opening a file with such a name.
---------- stage: -> needs patch title: IDLE for osx 10.8.5 won't run -> IDLE can crash if file name contains non-BMP Unicode characters versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23672> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
