Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: The Mac issue is the inability to add .xyz directories to the home directory. You can test a fix by entering 'mkdir .idlerc' at the terminal prompt.
The IDLE issue is that IDLE quits when it cannot create .idlerc. In this respect, this is a duplicate of #8231. That this can happen after what seemed like a 'normal' install (on a home machine?) gives me a bit more impetus to work on that issue. ---------- assignee: terry.reedy -> superseder: -> Unable to run IDLE without write-access to home directory _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32447> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
