I've installed MacPython 2.6 under mac os x 2.6 and the IDLE doesn't work. I post error log. Suggestions? Thanks a lot.

I don't quite understand what's going on there. To the OP: when you say MacPython 2.6, from where did you install it or did you build it yourself? In OS X 10.6, Apple ships framework versions of both Tcl/Tk 8.4 and 8.5. Be aware that the 8.5 version shipped by Apple is known to be very problematic with IDLE and Tkinter. If building youself, install the ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5 or stick to 8.4. The most recent python.org OS X installer for 2.6 was 2.6.5 (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.5/) and should work just fine with the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.4 or with ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.4.

I took MacPython 2.6 from here: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/python-2.6.6-macosx10.3.dmg Also I downloaded Tcl/Tk from here http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks to using the gis software Qgis.... May be here the issue?

I can't reproduce the problem and I really don't see how installing that Tcl/Tk framework could cause the problem by itself. The version of Tcl and Tk to dynamically load is added to the executable at link time when the installer is being built. It should look something like this: $ cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6 $ cd ./lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/ $ otool -L _tkinter.so _tkinter.so (architecture ppc): /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Tcl (compatibility version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19) /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.4/Tk (compatibility version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19) /usr/lib/libmx.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 47.1.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.3.10) _tkinter.so (architecture i386): /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Tcl (compatibility version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19) /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.4/Tk (compatibility version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.3.10) Note the absolute path to the framework. If that version of the framework does not exist at that location, the dynamic loader falls back to the OS X standard location /System/Library/Frameworks ... If you've only installed that one extra Tcl/Tk version, things should look something like this: $ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 5 root admin 272 Jul 27 2010 8.5/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 3 Jun 24 13:31 Current@ -> 8.5 $ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 5 root admin 272 Jul 27 2010 8.5/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 sysadminold wheel 3 Jun 24 13:31 Current@ -> 8.5 $ ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 340 Mar 17 18:27 8.4/ drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 340 Mar 17 18:27 8.5/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Nov 7 2010 Current@ -> 8.5 $ ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 374 Mar 17 18:27 8.4/ drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 374 Mar 17 18:27 8.5/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Nov 7 2010 Current@ -> 8.5 If not, something's wrong. It's especially odd that you would see a problem with IDLE.app since it is not influenced by shell initialization steps. Do you have something set in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist ? Also, try launching that idle from a shell: $ /usr/local/bin/idle2.6 -- Ned Deily, nad@acm.org
This is the result of the test you suggested to me. What do you think?

If you want to stick with the python.org Python 2.6, I suggest you download the latest installer from here: http://python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/ and re-install.
