"Edit with IDLE" doesn't work any more ?

[Yip, Kin]

Hi Eryk,

If I do:

"c:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe"  -m idlelib beersong.py

I see the following :

=======================
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Program Files\Python36\lib\idlelib\pyshell.py", line 4, in <module>
    from tkinter import *
  File "C:\Users\kinyip\Desktop\Python Codes\tkinter.py", line 1, in <module>
    from turtle import *
  File "c:\Program Files\Python36\lib\turtle.py", line 116, in <module>
    from tkinter import simpledialog
ImportError: cannot import name 'simpledialog'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Program Files\Python36\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "c:\Program Files\Python36\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "c:\Program Files\Python36\lib\idlelib\__main__.py", line 6, in <module>
    import idlelib.pyshell
  File "c:\Program Files\Python36\lib\idlelib\pyshell.py", line 7, in <module>
    "Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **", file=sys.__stderr__)
NameError: name 'sys' is not defined
========================================================================================


Any suggestion ?

Kin

Change this to use "python.exe" and run it from a command prompt. This way you can see the traceback if an exception is raised.
