I just downloaded the latest Python IDLE 3.2 for Windows 7 (64-bit).
I can open, edit, and save existing .py files, but if I open a new document and try to save it, IDLE hangs.
After a few attempts, I tried using a regular text editor to create a hello world program (plain ASCII). But I cannot even open that file: IDLE hangs when trying.
I’ve searched the web and surprisingly found no hits for this problem. Does anyone have a workaround?
It appears IDLE doesn’t cope with paths that have spaces in them. I worked around the problem by choosing directory paths that don’t have spaces.
