Hi,

I am writing to inform you about the Python Program. Whenever I go onto the
program it works but as soon as I save a piece of work it crashes and
freezes. After that it says Python.exe has stopped working. The Windows
that I am using is Windows 7 Proffessional. Is there any way you can fix
this fault??? Please do this as soon as possibe as I need this piece of
work ASAP?!?

MANY THANKS
*Kamran Muhammad*

Could provide more information on the issue? Which program exactly is failing? Is it the IDLE editor? If you don't know what you're using, you can provide a screenshot as a last resort (but don't provide one if you can figure out the program that freezes).

Sorry Kamran, but you don't produce any information, there is a stacktrace, a backtrace ?

In this case, we can't reproduce your issue and we can't help you.

And, we can't provide a patch because you need it ASAP :/

We can't help you, there is no backtrace, no stacktrace, no dump, in fact, nothing. can you provide more details because without that, we can not reproduce your issue.

Kamran, the image you supplied shows that you are trying to use IDLE from Python 3.2.3.  3.2.3 is very old and no longer supported.  Also, Windows 7 is very old. The last binary release of Python 3.2.x was 3.2.5 so you could try installing that version.  Or, better, try a newer, supported version of Python 3.  Otherwise, you should seek help elsewhere as this tracker is for specific problems with supported versions of Python.  See the Python.org Help page for suggestions.  Good luck!

3.8 will probably be the last Python version to support Windows 7 (2020-01 EOL). 3.6 is the last to support Vista.

To Ned Deily
I am using Python 3.2.3 because I use it at schoolo and my teacher said use
this. Also because I do not know how to use any other model other than this
because I was taught this at school. ANY SUGGESTIONS????

THANKS

You need more assistance than we can give here on the issue tracker.  Please look at the help resources here: https://www.python.org/about/help/.  In particular, you could try asking on the tutor mailing list: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor.  Good luck!
