---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dylan Gleason <crazy8...@yahoo.com> Date: Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 10:07 PM Subject: Re: IDLE won't start on Mac OSX To: Chris Rebert <c...@rebertia.com> I am clicking the IDLE.app icon located in the Applications folder. I installed Python with the Python.mpkg file from the disk image file for version 2.7 (universal binary), which I in turn downloaded from the Python website. Thanks, Dylan ---------- In the future, please use Reply-All (so everyone can see your reply) and don't top-post (it makes conversations harder to follow; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-post ). Hopefully your answers will help others in solving your problem; I personally don't have an answer for ya (my setup is different).
