[issue12076] IDLE v.3.2 crashing randomly on MacOSX 10.6.7

[Chris Paton]

New submission from Chris Paton <chrispaton2005 at gmail.com>:

I don't know much about Python (in fact, I'm a noob) so not understanding much of the technical lingo. I've installed Python 3.2, and Active TCL 8.5.9 on my machine. IDLE crashes at random points - compiling, saving, loading or even just typing! Why is this? What can i do to get it working? There is no error message, I just get my spinning beach ball and then I have to force quit the program, so it doesn't seem to be anything official. Any help at all would be great, I really need to get this going for my thesis project!
