Python quit unexpectedly

Question

Can anybody help with this? Whenever I try to launch tkinter, i get this report:

Answer 1

If you are using Homebrew , you can reinstall a corrupted Python environment like this:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies --force python python@2
unset PYTHONPATH
brew install python python@2

I had another "quit unexpectedly" issue and this resolved it for me.

Answer 2

Python quit unexpectedly when running the code below on my Mac (OS X Yosemite):

root.config(menu_Bar = file_Menu)


# Tkinter GUI Menu

from tkinter import *

### Functions ###

# Do Nothing
def do_Nothing():
    print('I just did... nothing')



### Create tkinter window ###

# Create Window
root = Tk() 



#### Creating the Menu(s) ###

# Create the Menu Bar
menu_Bar = Menu(master = root)

# Create File Menu
file_Menu = Menu(master = menu_Bar)



### Displaying the Menu(s) ###

# Display Menu Bar
root.config(menu = menu_Bar)

# Display File Menu
menu_Bar.add_cascade(label = 'File', menu = file_Menu)




### File Menu Properties ####

# New
file_Menu.add_command(label = 'New', command = do_Nothing)

# Open
file_Menu.add_command(label = 'Open', command = do_Nothing)

# Exit
file_Menu.add_command(label = 'Exit', command = root.quit) 




### Display tkinter window ###
root.mainloop()


# Display Menu Bar
root.config(menu = menu_Bar)

The issue that made Python quit unexpectedly was that instead of

# Display Menu Bar
root.config(menu = menu_Bar)

I had originally wrote something like:

# Display Menu Bar
root.config(myMenu = menu_Bar)

In addition to that, I had to update the Tlc from version Apple 8.5.9 to ActiveTcl 8.5.18.0 . The website for this is here: https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/#activetcl-8-5-18-0
