[issue10718] Idle 2.7.1 from 64-bit installer crashes on OS X when source is saved

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

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 python.org 2.7.1 64-bit installer.  The simplest workaround at the moment is to use the other, 32-bit-only 2.7.1 installer for OS X.  It uses the Apple Tcl/Tk 8.4 or ActiveTcl 8.4, if present, neither of which exhibits these kinds of problems.
