I've opened the following issues for problems with various menu, key
definitions, and launch problems with IDLE.app and bin/idle on OS X:
<http://bugs.python.org/issue5194>
<http://bugs.python.org/issue5195>
<http://bugs.python.org/issue5196>
Issue5194 applies to 2.6, trunk (2.7), 3.0, and py3k (3.1). It might
also work on 2.5 with a little touchup.
Issue5195 and Issue5196 are specific to Python 3.0 and py3k (3.1).
The patches included have been tested on 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, and 3.1 as
indicated. I believe that, with these patches applied, IDLE.app and
command line idle (bin/idle) on all of these systems will exhibit
the same behavior regarding menus and key definitions.[1] In
particular, the often missing-in-action Preferences menu option should
be home for good.
I'd appreciate feedback on the patches. It would be best to comment
directly via the issue tracker.
[1] One minor difference: bin/idle still has an application name of
"Python" in menus and the dock while IDLE.app is "IDLE".
