    error with IDLE on debian

    Hi

    when i try to run IDLE on my debian laptop I get this error.

    $ idle
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/idle", line 5, in ?
    main()
    File "idlelib/PyShell.py", line 1359, in main
    File "idlelib/FileList.py", line 44, in new
    File "idlelib/PyShell.py", line 105, in __init__
    File "idlelib/EditorWindow.py ", line 111, in __init__
    File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 2764, in __init__
    Widget.__init__ (self, master, 'text', cnf, kw)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1865, in __init__
    self.tk.call(
    _tkinter.TclErr or: expected integer but got "`100"

    I am not sure about what could cause the problem because I didnt use my
    laptop for python programming for couple of weeks. Before that it worked
    fine. And on that period i might have installed few things.

    I am running Debian unstable with python 2.2.4, tcl8.4, tk8.4, python-tk
    24.4-1 and IDLE 2.4.4-2. I already tried to reinstall IDLE, tk and tcl
    and python-tk but that did not solve anything, i keep getting the same
    error.

    any ideas?

    thanks

      Re: error with IDLE on debian

      Just a guess, but I think you need to be using at least Python 2.4 if
      you are going to use IDLE version 2.4.4-2.
