Your posts are easier to deal with if you provide tracebacks as text. Here's what I get: Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1442, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/idlelib/MultiCall.py", line 174, in handler doafterhandler.pop()() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/idlelib/MultiCall.py", line 221, in <lambda> doit = lambda: self.bindedfuncs[triplet[2]][triplet[0]].remove(func) ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list > Some additional info: > - When IDLE crashes it does not display an error, every open window simply > closes. - IDLE has never crashed after opening a file when I open it via > command prompt, even if it was previously consistently displaying that > behavior. - I am running Windows 7 x64 with all updates. > > Has anyone ever encountered this? What does the error mean? This looks like the following bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue8900 You might be able to work around it by selecting the "At Startup Open Shell Window" option under Options-->Configure IDLE-->General-->Startup Preferences -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
