Sorry for the late response but if you can document how to reproduce the crashes or have a crash report that would be great. But, first, are you sure you were using IDLE 3.2 and not the Apple-supplied IDLE 2.6 in OS X 10.6? The latter will definitely exhibit that behavior. If you are installed Python 3.2 from one of the python.org installers, IDLE 3.2 will be available in /Applications/Python 3.2/ or as /usr/local/bin/idle3.2. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
