Python Forum

Hello, as I am rather new at this, I might also be repeating an issue that has been brought up and solved; if that's the case, my sincerest apologies.

As for the case itself : I recently got my hands on a mac (with MacOS because I after all do want to look at what it has to offer Tongue

), and downloaded and installed python. So far so good. I managed to write a few simple codes and everything was going smoothly. That was until it randomly crashed (or so I thought). Further tests made it clear to me that the IDLE crashed every time i tried to enter a " or '.

So... Has anyone gotten a clue of what I could do to fix this?

This is the message I get after the crash :

My non-expert opinion: if IDLE breaks, just don't use IDLE anymore.

i can tell you that there is other issues with IDLE. Its a horrible IDE, and should of never been packaged with python on some operating systems. It makes people think that it is the default IDE, when its not. Get a different IDE.

I was wondering what is that and tried to install it on my Ubuntu MATE partition. I didn't work. Even the installation. I couldn't uninstall it. When I used the package manager it always prints the error because of it. I deleted all files related to IDLE but still get some error message. But I don't want to bother anymore with this.

Well that was a quick and enlightening series of posts! Many thanks for the replies, but could you also recommend any other IDE then?

I am using Geany or vim to write small scripts. Sometimes Atom. I have installed PyCharm Comunity and Ninja IDE. Both a good too. I forgot Sublime Text.

i also use a combination of Geany or Vim.

but there are quite a number of them

but one of my favorites is sublime text, and their plugin API is python

Many thanks to you guys, that answers all my inquiries :D

If you're just starting out, you probably don't need all the bells and whistles of an ide. I don't know that much about which one might be good on a mac, but it's mostly personal preference anyway. So try a couple out, see which feel good to you, and go from there :)
