Irv, thanks for the feedback and the attempt. I think we had a little bit of a misunderstanding on our end so I don't think we need you to try anything more for this problem.

Terry, I apologize if I left the impression that there was some doubt about whether the double-clicking failure was due to a problem in IDLE. This is almost certainly a Tk issue but ultimately we need to be able to address the problem for python.org macOS installers. That's what I am working on right at the moment. I should have something for you and Tal to look at soon and we can proceed from there. Thanks!
