I've recently started to use Python, and I don't know much about programming.
I've installed Python 3.4.3 in my Mac OS X Yosemite, and it worked fine for a few months, but now every time I want to run a module it stops responding.
so I use IDLE and when I open a new file to define a function I can write, then I click run and I save my file, and then when I click save IDLE doesn't restart as it use to and I can't write on it or do anything else. there is no crash report, no nothing, just all frozen. I close it and if then I re open and write on IDLE it works but as soon as I try to run a new file again it freezes.
How can I solve it?
to try stuff out i've been using repl.it online and it is useful for a learner like me but still I would like to be able to use IDLE on my mac.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!!
Try using Anaconda, which is another Python distribution, but more science-oriented. It has all the commonly required modules already in it (plus other for scientific purposes), so that you don't have to install them as and when required. And when you install Anaconda, it automatically installs Spyder, which is a much better IDE than IDLE.

I am a Windows 10 user, and had configured the Python 3.10 IDLE to dark mode and had added the Fira Code font to the IDLE a few days back (Through the Options menu). Then the Python IDLE was working fine; without issues.
However, each time after that when I try to go to 'Configure IDLE' from Options Menu, Python IDLE just freezes and then stops responding, until I manually close it. It then asks to run a Windows check and reports the error to Windows. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Python; however that did not work.
Image: Python has stopped responding (happens everytime I click on configure IDLE)
I am a Windows user and tried running python from cmd using the command: py -m idlelib to start IDLE from the command line to try and get an error report, however the same problem happens as mentioned above, and I do not get an error report when I close Python. I tried finding solutions in similar questions, however I did not understand what was going on. I also do not seem to figure out how 'running the Python IDLE' through the command line works, other than running it using the above command. Can someone please assist me on what to do next at this point, that would be of huge help :D
Try uninstalling the font. The Doesn't work part of the Editor compatibility list on https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode includes IDLE. I suspect that the font is incompatible with tcl/tk. Your report is similar to
IDLE Settings window won't appear
See https://bugs.python.org/issue45103 for so far futile efforts to protect IDLE.
UPDATE: We were not able to reproduce the problem with FireCode. However, the BPO issue referenced above lead to a tcl/tk bug report that lead to a bugfix, at least for the Phaistos font, that is included in tcl/tk 8.6.12. This is included in the new Python 3.9.9 Windows installer and will be in the upcoming 3.10.1 installer. It might fix your issue with FiraCode.
I have a rather small Pygame based python script and I just bought a Mac so I'm trying to run my script on here. Everything has been installed correctly (Checking by typing 'import Pygame') into python terminal as-well as running a basic hello world program. However, when I try running this script, IDLE gets brought to the front but nothing happens from there. (The script is supposed to pop-up a new window). Is this a problem with my installations or my code? (Code works on windows setup).
You could try to run the script again on a windows computer to see if you forgot to save some changes or if the file got corrupted somehow. You could also use bootcamp to install Windows on your mac since you could have one windows version on your mac for coding purposes and the regular mac OS for other stuff if you like.
you can execute it by left clicking in your script and select open with python launcher
I am fairly new to programming in python. I installed anaconda and am running iPython (the Jupyter qtconsole) v.4.3.0 and python v.3.6 on a Mac. Currently, I am trying to import a module with functions located in my home directory.
I have looked at stackoverflow and python documentation and found that it could be done with:
%run "Users/myUser/python_functions.py"
or
import python_functions
However, when I try both of these approaches, I get prompted to overwrite the file that I am running or importing:
File `python_functions.py` exists. Overwrite (y/[N])?
This is changing the previous file and not getting the functions I want to be imported.
What may explain this, and what can I do to import my module?
this is wrong but leaving it up for shame
import on ubuntu (and I'm guessing many other unix-like OSs including Mac) is a utility that saves any visible window on an X server and outputs it as an image file. You can capture a single window, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the screen.
My guess if you are running the import command in your console, and it's about to take a screenshot and save it over an existing file - python_functions
Before you the use the python import command, start a python interpreter:
$ python
>>>import yourfile
edit: on re-reading your question, I'm not so sure about my guess anymore, but leaving it up until you tell me I'm wrong :)
Running Jupyter qtconsole as an interpreter is likely causing the problem in this scenario. Instead using a IDE or command line interpreter will resolve it .
Since anaconda was installed, trying it with the IDE Spyder executes the code just fine without the overwrite prompt. It works on others (e.g PyCharm, Rodeo, etc.) as well.
I am using Anaconda/Iphython 32bit on a Windows machine wit Python version 2.7. Every time I run a script (different Modules are called) and it fails, I need to close the program and open it again if I want to change the code. If I change the code without closing/opening IPython, my changes in the code are not “updated”.
I tired %reset, but it does not work. I tried ‘Ctrl’, ‘Ctrl+’. and ‘Crtl-‘ without success (nothing happen).
It is really annoying because I have to change the Conda environment everytime and restart IPython :).
Any tips? Would be great
I am trying to stop execution of Python scripts in IPython in Windows. I have installed Python and IPython using Anaconda. However, whenever I press Ctrl+C, it breaks out of the current Python script as well as IPython. I saw a similar post here, which said to instead launch IPython with python C:\python27\scripts\ipython-script.py (or wherever that .py script is located), but for Anaconda users that script is in C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\pkgs\ipython-5.1.0-py35_0\Scripts\ipython-script.py (which then changes with every version number if IPython that is installed). This ends up working but is certainly not convenient. I can make a quick shortcut/keybinding that runs that ipython-script.py script, but if and when I update IPython, I'm going to have to change the shortcut, and that seems rather inconvenient.
Any suggestions? I suppose I could add C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\pkgs to my path, but that seems a little bit of overkill since there are a ton of packages in there.
