By finding the one that crashes Tk - yeah, I know that's not very helpful. But, more seriously, have you tried running /usr/local/bin/wish8.5? If Tk crashes there when running the widget demos, then at least Python is not a factor. The only vaguely potentially relevant hardware factor I can think of is whether or not the MacBook Pro has a Retina display. The only standard settings that might be revlevant are those in System Preferences -> Language & Text, prinarily what Input Source is selected. Another thing you could try is to temporarily disable the ActiveState Tcl/Tk and see what happens with calling Tk in python and with IDLE then. They will automatically fall back to using the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5.x in 10.7 which is older and buggier than A/S 8.5.13 but should not crash immediately, either. The easiest way to do that is to use sudo from the terminal: cd /Library/Frameworks/ sudo mv ./Tcl.framework ./Tcl-DISABLED sudo mv ./Tk.framework ./Tk-DISABLED When finished testing, you can restore them by: cd /Library/Frameworks/ sudo mv ./Tcl-DISABLED ./Tcl.framework sudo mv ./Tk-DISABLED ./Tk.framework -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
