Summary: Problem with Slackware 9.0

Initial Comment:
I cannot use Menu ( File, Edition etc...) to open or
save any files.

This is what I get when I try to open a file with File : 

user1@darkstar:~/IDLEfork-0.9a2$ ./idle
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line
1299, in __call__
    args = apply(self.subst, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line
1032, in _substitute
    e.num = getint(b)
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): ??
 

Anyone any idea ? I am just very python newbie. Does
exists a IDLE Slackware package ?

I believe there was a problem with Tk8.4.2 which
was handled in Python2.3.  If you are using
Tk8.4 (check the IDLE About dialog) then I'd say
move to Python2.3b1.

See Python Patch 707701:

The rest of us are not seeing this problem, so it's
probably something in your configuration.  Try 
some simple Tk programs without using IDLE and
see what happens.

There is no Slackware package.  0.9a2 is pure 
Python, so if you follow the release notes on the
SF IDLEfork Files page, you will have no problem
with the installation.  Use the tar.gz package.
Good luck and welcome to Python!  

If this doesn't help, you might try asking at
comp.lang.python, I'm sure someone is running
Slackware.
