Terry Jan Reedy5d46ab12015-09-20 19:57:13 -0400[diff] [blame]111<p>IDLE has two main window types, the Shell window and the Editor window. It is
112possible to have multiple editor windows simultaneously. Output windows, such
113as used for Edit / Find in Files, are a subtype of edit window. They currently
114have the same top menu as Editor windows but a different default title and
115context menu.</p>

terryjreedy188aedf2017-06-13 21:32:16 -0400[diff] [blame]539<p>IDLE uses a socket to communicate between the IDLE GUI process and the user
540code execution process. A connection must be established whenever the Shell
541starts or restarts. (The latter is indicated by a divider line that says
Terry Jan Reedyaf4b0132018-06-10 15:48:41 -0400[diff] [blame^]542‘RESTART’). If the user process fails to connect to the GUI process, it
543displays a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Tk</span></code> error box with a ‘cannot connect’ message that directs the
terryjreedy188aedf2017-06-13 21:32:16 -0400[diff] [blame]544user here. It then exits.</p>
545<p>A common cause of failure is a user-written file with the same name as a
546standard library module, such as <em>random.py</em> and <em>tkinter.py</em>. When such a
547file is located in the same directory as a file that is about to be run,
548IDLE cannot import the stdlib file. The current fix is to rename the
549user file.</p>
550<p>Though less common than in the past, an antivirus or firewall program may
551stop the connection. If the program cannot be taught to allow the
552connection, then it must be turned off for IDLE to work. It is safe to
553allow this internal connection because no data is visible on external
554ports. A similar problem is a network mis-configuration that blocks
555connections.</p>
556<p>Python installation issues occasionally stop IDLE: multiple versions can
557clash, or a single installation might need admin access. If one undo the
558clash, or cannot or does not want to run as admin, it might be easiest to
559completely remove Python and start over.</p>
560<p>A zombie pythonw.exe process could be a problem. On Windows, use Task
561Manager to detect and stop one. Sometimes a restart initiated by a program
562crash or Keyboard Interrupt (control-C) may fail to connect. Dismissing
563the error box or Restart Shell on the Shell menu may fix a temporary problem.</p>
564<p>When IDLE first starts, it attempts to read user configuration files in
Terry Jan Reedyaf4b0132018-06-10 15:48:41 -0400[diff] [blame^]565~/.idlerc/ (~ is one’s home directory). If there is a problem, an error
terryjreedy188aedf2017-06-13 21:32:16 -0400[diff] [blame]566message should be displayed. Leaving aside random disk glitches, this can
567be prevented by never editing the files by hand, using the configuration
568dialog, under Options, instead Options. Once it happens, the solution may
569be to delete one or more of the configuration files.</p>
570<p>If IDLE quits with no message, and it was not started from a console, try

616If firewall software complains anyway, you can ignore it.</p>
617<p>If the attempt to make the socket connection fails, Idle will notify you.
618Such failures are sometimes transient, but if persistent, the problem
terryjreedy188aedf2017-06-13 21:32:16 -0400[diff] [blame]619may be either a firewall blocking the connection or misconfiguration of

Terry Jan Reedy5d46ab12015-09-20 19:57:13 -0400[diff] [blame]622<p>If IDLE is started with the -n command line switch it will run in a
623single process and will not create the subprocess which runs the RPC
624Python execution server. This can be useful if Python cannot create
625the subprocess or the RPC socket interface on your platform. However,
626in this mode user code is not isolated from IDLE itself. Also, the
627environment is not restarted when Run/Run Module (F5) is selected. If
628your code has been modified, you must reload() the affected modules and
629re-import any specific items (e.g. from foo import baz) if the changes
630are to take effect. For these reasons, it is preferable to run IDLE
631with the default subprocess if at all possible.</p>
