I presume you mean the Mac Bootcamp program that allows one to run Windows on Macs. I don't know if it runs *all* Windows programs or whether we specifically support running Windows python under Bootcamp. I imagine that there might be problems with some GUI and graphics programs.
IDLE depends on multiple stdlibs, in particular tkinter, which depends on tcl/tk. To test if the Windows versions work under Bootcamp, run "python -m tkinter" in Command Prompt. You should see a tk window with text and a click-me button. If that works, try "python -m turtle". It should draw and erase a couple of patterns. If both work, "python -m test". Then try "python -m idlelib" and report any error messages that appear. |
