[New-bugs-announce] [issue14409] IDLE does not execute any commands (command prompt works fine!)

[Ankit Agrawal]

New submission from Ankit Agrawal <ankit615 at gmail.com>:

I'm trying to run python (version 2.7.2) on my computer (windows vista 32bit). It's always worked until now when Idle just does not respond to any commands.

Any commands entered (even very simple ones) have no output/do not get computed! See image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32209936/image%20idle%20Idle.jpg

Python works fine when I run it using command line though! See image:

I've tried re-installing it a few times but it just doesn't help! Also tried running it from C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.py and I get the following message before the same unresponsive IDLE pops up again! See image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32209936/image%20python%20warnings.jpg

Checked the file config-keys.def under C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib and its permissions. Also checked all other config-*.def files in this folder.
