[Pythonmac-SIG] IDLE broken: Where are the IDLE user-preferences?

[Andreas Kahl]

Hello everybody,

can anyone please tell me where IDLE stores its user preferences?

I have the same problem as Brad R. described a year ago, but there was
no reply to that:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2004-December/012321.html

I changed my Keybindings, too, and now I cannot launch IDLE any more.
The icon bounces several times and then disappears.

My Console says the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/__argvemulator_idle",
line 4, in ?
    execfile(os.path.join(os.path.split(__file__)[0], "idle"))
  File "/Applications/MacPython-2.4/IDLE.app/Contents/Resources/idle",

I suppose I shouldn't have used the 'tab'-Key as a shortcut. Perhaps
you should deactivate that option in IDLE to prevent users from
crashing their IDLEs too.

Reinstalling does not help in any way. I hope, somebody can tell me
the name of the file, so I can fix this.

Thanks.

Andreas
