Hello,

I am biologist I am just starting to learn Python.

I have a mac and I am using OS X 10.8.2. I have installed Python 2.7.3 and when I try to copy and paste (use command) or go to preferences IDLE crashes. I did what Ned Deily said in msg169739:

sudo mv /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework /Library/Frameworks/Tk_disabled

It worked. Now I can copy and paste in IDLE. But when I type quots (" or ') it crashes. 

What you think I can do to work in IDLE using both command and typing " and '?

Sorry if my question is too elementary.

I appreciate a lot all the comments and answers. It is very useful and enlightening.

Kind regards
