First time using Python on my personal computer. Updated the mac version to 3.3. Then installed ActiveTcl 8.6.1.0, then tried deleting and installing 8.5.15.0. I tried opening IDLE from the applications folder, then from terminal. After that failed to work, I browsed the forms and tried what another user suggested to see if I had write permission to my home directory. Charlottes-MacBook-Pro:~ Charlotte$ /usr/local/bin/idle3.3 Warning: unable to create user config directory /Users/Charlotte/.idlerc Check path and permissions. Exiting! Charlottes-MacBook-Pro:~ Charlotte$ cd ~ Charlottes-MacBook-Pro:~ Charlotte$ ls -lde ~ drwxr-xr-x 23 501 staff 782 8 Mar 22:49 /Users/Charlotte Charlottes-MacBook-Pro:~ Charlotte$ chmod u+w ~ Charlottes-MacBook-Pro:~ Charlotte$ mkdir ~/.idlerc mkdir: /Users/Charlotte/.idlerc: Permission denied Please help. :) |

This isn't really a python question, it's a mac question. Unless there is something the mac installer should be doing to detect this situation..but...are you running the python that comes with the OS, or did you install it yourself? Because if it is the former, there probably isn't much we can do that we haven't already done. |

The fact that "ls" shows a UID of 501 instead of your user name "Charlotte" strongly suggests you have an inconstantly defined user account. Suggest you try cresting a new "Administrator" user via "System Preferences" -> "User & Groups" and try logging into that user and see if IDLE works there. If that works, you may need some help trying to fix up your existing account. You may be able to get some useful information with the dscl command: dscl . -read /Users/Charlotte Good luck! |

er, "inconstantly" -> "inconsistently" |
