[issue41373] IDLE: edit/save files created by Windows Explorer

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Raymond, I tested patch today and expect to apply it (without unittests yet) tomorrow, so will be in 3.9.0rc1 abd 3.8.6.  In the meanwhile, either create new files within IDLE (File=>NEW) or add "isinstance(self.eol_convention, str) and " after 'if' on line 251 of idlelib/iomenu.py, just before the line in the traceback.

The added check will be put elsewhere by the patch, but it should work on 251.
