Hi, I am setting up Python 2.7 after an upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04, a
thorough one, leaving no survivors. Everything is fine, IDLE opens,
ready to go. Alas, execfile and import commands don't do my bidding, but
hang IDLE. All I can do is kill the process named "python" from a bash
terminal. IDLE then is still open, says "=== RESTART: Shell ===" and is
again ready for action. It works interactively, but no imports . . .
What could be the problem?
Close idle completely (or kill the idle process), then start it from the
command line, with an empty PYTHONPATH variable and from an empty directory.
$ killall idle
idle: no process found
$ mkdir empty
$ cd empty
$ PYTHONPATH= idle
Does the problem persist?
No, it doesn't. It's okay this way. Can you advise me how to set up the
launcher?
