[issue26673] Tkinter error when opening IDLE configuration menu
New submission from wysaard:
I'm using Python 3.5.1 on Arch Linux. I've restalled the python package which
provides IDLE, and the tkinter package which is used by IDLE, but to no effect.
My problem is this: When in the menu at the top in IDLE, I click on Options ->
Configure IDLE, the menu will stop responding, and nothing happens after that.
Doing this when I run IDLE in a terminal provides the following error on
clicking `Configure IDLE`:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.tk.call(_flatten((self._w, cmd)) + self._options(cnf))
_tkinter.TclError: expected integer but got ""
I have no idea what to do here.

[issue26673] Tkinter error when opening IDLE configuration menu
wysaard added the comment: In the screen of `About IDLE` it shows "Tk version 8.6.4". It used to work, as least since last september (when I installed this) I've had no problems. I assumed reinstalling would solve it but that did nothing. I've removed the entire python package, made my package manager download a fresh version and install it from scratch, and did the same with Tk. Trying to find any related bug reports on the Arch Linux bug tracker I found something linking to this (open) issue: https://bugs.python.org/issue24951 I'm not sure the cause is exactly the same, but the traceback is near identical. It seems to have something to do with a config file. Maybe there's something broken in there, or perhaps a something is missing? A broken config file would be weird as reinstalling doesn't fix anything, unless my package manager doesn't remove the config file when uninstalling the package, which isn't impossible either. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue26673> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue26673] Tkinter error when opening IDLE configuration menu
wysaard added the comment: I just fixed this problem. In my ~/.idlerc/ folder there was no `config-main.cfg` so I created it and used the settings found here: https://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Mac/IDLE/config-main.def After doing that everything worked fine again. I'm not sure where this bug came from though, whether it's my package manager, or some bug in IDLE itself that created this problem; I also don't know if this is normal behavior for a missing config file; so I do n't know whether to close this or not, so I'll leave that to you. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue26673> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

wysaard added the comment: For some reason the freshly downloaded files have this problem too. If I remove my config-main.def and let my package manager get a new one it breaks again. I don't really know the implications of this; is this just a problem with my particular setup or does this mean that maybe the file in the package is invalid? -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue26673> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
