[issue11437] IDLE crash on startup with typo in config-keys.cfg

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Tal's comments from Rietveld review (see msg220391);

529: Does this have to be a separate, new Tk instance? Wouldn't a temporary widget under the current Tk be just as good? Creating a new Tk instance could take a relatively large amount of time time and perhaps also have visual side-effects.

me> better to use original if possible.

545: Here keylist is mutated inside the for loop which iterates over it. This looks like a bug, and in any case should be avoided.

me> looping over invalid.  But this is part of repeated check which we should avoid.
