在macOS上打开python文件时空白的python空闲窗口

Question

For some reason, whenever I try to open a python script that has around ~450 lines of code, IDLE's windows simply appears empty and when I try to run it doesn't run anything either... However, if I try to run a smaller program it works for some reason. Does anybody know how I am able to run a python script on my Mac besides IDLE or how to fix the IDLE window being blank whenever I open a file?

Answer 1

To learn how to run Python Python programs on a Mac, read Chapters 1 and 4 of Python Setup and Usage . Running from an IDLE editor is just one way.

IDLE uses the tkinter module which wraps the tcl/tk GUI framework. Did you read and follow the instructions of how to replace the buggy tcl/tk that Apple supplies? Read the entire page before starting! Ignoring this page is the most common reason people have problems with IDLE on the Mac. There are a few others, but I do not remember one that matches your description.
