My setup is Mandrake 10.0 which came with python 2.3 and a standard
Python 2.4 build/install.
I always start Idle from an icon on my taskbar, when I click the icon,
Idle starts after a second but a small rotating timer appears over
the taskbar for 30 seconds and then disappears.
If I close Idle immediatly, the timer still remains for the 30 seconds.
Idle/Python has always seemed to run perfectly so I have ignored
the timer until I recently thought to run Idle from a console.
Idle/Python still works great but this output appears in the console...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] glen]$ idle
set([34, 36, 38, 39])
Failed to load extension 'CodeContext'

from sets import Set
ImportError: cannot import name Set
[EMAIL PROTECTED] glen]$
I have only just discovered the set command in python,
and it seems a bit of a coincedence that some of the console output
lines...
set([34, 36, 38, 39])
from sets import Set
ImportError: cannot import name Set
...appear connected to code I was playing with a few days ago.
I have looked at CodeContext.py, and line 15 is 'from sets import Set'
which Python 2.4 doesn't like, as set is already built in.
I have rebuilt/installed Python 2.4, but it made no difference.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what may be going on?
Glen
