I have one account on a WindowsXP machine that refuses to run IDLE (or any other python script that uses Tk). Other people can login to that PC and IDLE runs just fine, so it is not an installation issue. When the person who has the problem logs into another PC the problem follows them. Any ideas as to what might me wrong?
This is the traceback from IDLE: C:\Python20\Tools\idle>..\..\python.exe idle.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "idle.py", line 12, in ? PyShell.main() File "C:\Python20\Tools\idle\PyShell.py", line 732, in main root = Tk(className="Idle") File "c:\python20\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1482, in __init__ self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className) TclError: unknown color name "white " C:\Python20\Tools\idle> Thanks in advance, Jonathan Polley jwpolley rockwellcollins com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
