Hi all,
Is is a bad idea to develop Tkinter applications in IDLE? I understand
that IDLE is itself a Tkinter application, supposedly in a mainloop and
mainloops apparently don't nest.
In standard configuration, one process runs IDLE, another runs user
code, including tkinter code. So there should be no interference. The
example in the tkinter doc runs from IDLE edit window on my system. The
revised example in coming releases works even better. There have been
several IDLE bugs fixed in the last few months, and even more since 2.6
before that. Upgrade if you can to get fixes, suffer the bugs since
fixed, or patch your 2.6 installation.
