hi, All:


    I am using embedded python in an MFC application, I need the embedded python interpreter to do some calculation, and now, I want it to do more, I need to open the python editor, like what can be done from IDLE GUI, where you can open FileList.py under libs\idle\ sub folder in you python installation path, and execute the module to open a new editor window, but when I try to run that file in my embedded python, it just give some error message, as the following:


 Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetOption -

    I can create dialog with tkinter, and add control on the dialog, can anyone tell what's wrong, am I using it incorrectly?

Subject: [Idle-dev] IDLE problem in Manjaro Linux {Arch based}
Message-ID: <1410798956449-5071623.post@n6.nabble.com>

I have Python 2.7 and 3.4 on my system out of the box.  I can type "python"
from the command prompt and it changes to >>. I can enter basic commands and
such. I also installed Pycharm but it really bogs the system down. Is there
a simple IDLE that I can download and use? I have both an IDLE and Pycharm
in Windows but I do not use Window very much and prefer to not have to break
out my Windows laptop and rearrange everything just to use Python.   After
much googling and searching on the web I have not found what I am looking
for. 


Thanks in advance.

The directory is Lib/idlelib.  However, Idle is a application. Directly 
importing modules within idlelib is not supported.  Their names and APIs 
are mostly private; see PEP 443.

However, you have at least 3 other choices:

1. "import idlelib.idle" should start Idle properly.

2. run "python -m idlelib" in a subprocess should do it also.

3. Idle has a lot a baggage that you may not want. Instead, import 
tkinter and build a simple app around a Text widget.

Here is a copy of what I recently posted to python-list.
---
Most Python installations have tkinter available. I quickly wrote an 
absolutely minimal script.

import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
text = tk.Text()
text.pack()
root.mainloop()

I tested tested the functions and wrote the following.

This is a test text entry.
Enter and Tab work as expected.
The Arrow (Cursor) keys work as expected.
CntL-Left and Cntl-Right move a word at time.
Home and End move to beginning and end of the line.
Cntl-Home and Cntl-Up move to the beginning of the text.
Cntl-End and Cntl-Donw move to the end of the text.
Shift + cursor movement selects between the begin and end slice positions.
PageUp and PageDown are inoperative.
Delete and Backspace work as expected.
At least on Windows, I can select text and delete,
or cut or copy to Clipboard.
I can also paste from the clipboard.
In otherwords, this is a functional minimal text entry widget.

I did not even know about Shift-movement selecting until I tried it.
Notepad has this. Thunderbird's text entry does not.

I think the above is adequate for most multi-line text entry.
In use, a save function would have to be added.
A help text with the above info would be good too (Idle needs this).

Thank you for the positive feedback.  Many people have worked on Idle 
and a few of us continue to improve it.

_tkinter, tkinter, idlelib, turtle, and turtledemo are part of the 
stdlib and are included with the PSF installers for Windows and OSX. 
They depend on the installation of tcl/tk, which is included with the 
Windows installers.  However, some (many, most, all?) linux 
distributions remove some or all of the above from their Python 
distribution and include whatever they remove with their tcl/tk 
distribution. I assume this must be true for Arch/Manjaro, so install 
tcl/tk and you should get the missing pieces of Python.  For more help, 
enquire on the support list for Manjaro.
