Terry J. Reedy added the comment: 200 (lines) * 200 (columns) * 3 (or more chars/item) = line with 120000+ chars -- which you try to print 200 times. This is known to mostly freeze tk Text windows. This was not a crash for me, as I was able to close Shell and continue.
PS: Please post uncompressed files next time. ---------- resolution: -> duplicate stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed superseder: -> IDLE shell window gets very slow when displaying long lines title: Idle editor crashes when input size more than 250 lines given -> Idle Shell freezes when printing 100000+ char lines. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27750> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
