I am writing my python codes in Python IDLE. It sometimes just shuts down(exits) on its' own when I press "(".

(when I was writing this question it would shut down every time I type few characters and press Shift+9 which is symbol '(')

This is a similar problem to this one 1 , 2 and 3. In 2, the error occurred when the program was running in the full-screen mode. I don't do that.

It seems to me that people don't really know what this happens.

Surprisingly this happens quite rare. Sometimes I can work for days without this problem.

Versions: OS: Mac High Sierra Python 2.7.14 IDLE: 2.7.14 Tk: 8.5.9

  • Smells like some sort of GUI issue. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jun 11 '18 at 01:30
  • Likely solved by https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ - normally, I would just suggest switching to a better OS but you probably don't want to hear that :-) – paxdiablo Jun 11 '18 at 02:53
  • What version of Python (and IDLE) are you using? What version of tcl/tk? You should be using 3.6.5 with tk 8.5.19 or so. 3.7.0 with tct/tk 8.6.8 installed is in beta now and out without a month. – Terry Jan Reedy Jun 11 '18 at 05:16
  • I have the same issue. It happens to me when I use IDLE 3.8. But it only happens when I use the IDLE on my external monitor. When using it on my laptop screen, the breakage does not occur. I am pretty sure this is GUI issue, though I don't have a good answer for this. – CEKim Jul 20 '20 at 21:57
  • Here is a walkaround. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36053119/why-does-pythons-idle-crash-when-i-type-a-parenthesis-on-mac – CEKim Jul 20 '20 at 22:19
