Otherwise seems to be working. [snip] > _tkinter.TclError: can't invoke "bind" command: application has been destroyed Are you running 3.4.0? This was a 3.4 regression that was only reported to occur if one opened Idle with a editor window and closed without ever running it. This was fixed in http://bugs.python.org/issue20167 but I believe too late for 3.4.0. If you see this with 3.4.2 (strongly recommended, especially forthcoming OSX) or even 3.4.1, please add a note to the issue with exact details -- how start, what do, how close. -- Terry Jan Reedy
