Weird idle behavior for GUI apps

Platform: Windows ME
Python version: 2.3.2-1
Problem: Running GUI apps in Idle does not work.

When executing GUI (tkinter/pmw) apps from the edit windows or doing
an "import <file>" in the shell window GUI apps freeze and do not
respond to internal widgets or window decoration. They also do not
repaint. Only way to bail out is to restart the interpreter. Same
apps work fine from DOS window or double-clicked in file manager.
These apps also still work in Python 2.2 environment (still installed)

Character-based apps seem to work fine.

Anyone seen this before?

TIA,
Ted Gill

Hello. I downloaded and installed Windows Python-2.3.exe. The install appears to be successful. There is a Start menu item showing "Python 2.3" --> "IDLE (Python GUI)". When I select this, nothing appears on my Windows 2000 screen. However, if I look at the task manager, I see "pythonw.exe", which I assume applies that the process is indeed running. I expect some sort of GUI to open.

I have Python 2.4.3 installed on Windows XP on both a real computer and a virtual machine under VMware. Just recently, IDLE stopped working. I would select IDLE from the start menu or right click on a .PY file and open it in IDLE, but nothing happens. I just uninstalled Python on the virtual machine and installed 2.5 in the hope that that would fix the problem, but it didn't. It, too, would do nothing when I tried to run IDLE. In both...

New to Python, and just had something strange happen. I've been running my new code in IDLE running in windows. My IDLE version shows as 1.2.1, Python version displaying in IDLE is 2.5.1. I have been editing my code in UltraEdit then testing in IDLE by choosing open, then F5. I didn't see an easy way to refresh in IDLE, so each edit I've been closing the file (not IDLE itself), then opening again. Since IDLE does not keep track of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
