[issue17114] Python IDLE GUI does not open in Ubuntu 12.04

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Run IDLE from command line and you will see:

configparser.DuplicateOptionError: While reading from .../.idlerc/config-highlight.cfg [line 29]: option 'cursor-foreground' in section 'Rajesh_Python_Settings' already exists

Your configuration is wrong. Just remove duplicated option 'cursor-foreground' (and other duplications if they exist).

However 2.7 and 3.1 are tolerant for this. This is an IDLE bug, a regression in 3.2.
