I disagree. There aren't really "64-bit users" on OSX, thanks to fat binaries. So if starting IDLE would start a 32-bit interpreter, users likely won't even notice. If they do notice, they can still run in 64-bit mode from the command line. In my experience with fat python builds on OSX, it's typically better to prefer 32-bit mode, anyway, as extension modules often don't come in a fat version, but often in 32-bit mode only. ---------- title: OS X 10.6 IDLE, tkinter: Cocoa Tk 8.5 crash when composite character typed in text field -> OS X 10.6 IDLE, tkinter: Cocoa Tk 8.5 crash when composite character typed in text field _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10973> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
