[Pythonmac-SIG] "A GUI Test Session" from Learning Python Crashes

[Brian J. Stankiewicz]

Hi Richard and MP-SIG,

Okay, I have done some more testing ont he problem and here are some more
symptoms that I am finding.  If I run one of the Demos
(Demo:tkinter:Matt:Canvas-demo-sipmple.py) from the IDE I get the tk window
displayed, but when I hit the "quit" button the Python completely freezes.
However, if I run the same program by simply double-clicking on the .py
file and running it in the Python interpretor only, it runs just fine and
will quit gracefully.

Are Richard and I the only ones suffering with this?  Is this a problem
with the IDE?

-Brian
