Unfortunately, there are some major stability problems with IDLEs that are linked with the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5 in OS X 10.6. (See, for instance, Issue9763.) That includes the current <a href="http://python.org" target="_blank">python.org</a> 2.7.1 64-bit installer. Â The simplest workaround at the moment is to use the other, 32-bit-only 2.7.1 installer for OS X. Â It uses the Apple Tcl/Tk 8.4 or ActiveTcl 8.4, if present, neither of which exhibits these kinds of problems.<br>
