[Bug 365534] Re: IDLE crashes on code completion

[Benito Mourelo]

The fix released for Python Issue1028 was applied to the sources of
Python 3.1.4 ( http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/82cfbe2ddfbb ).

I tested that version 3.2.2-0ubuntu1 of the Ubuntu's  package  python3.2
and  includes the patch but idle continues crashing on my instalation of
Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64.

This fix for Python Issue1028 was applied and works in my installation
of Fedora 16 x86_64 ( package  python3-3.2.1-1.fc16.x86_64 and
tk-8.5.11-1.fc16.x86_64 ).

 I suspect that the upstream Python fix is not sufficient in Ubuntu.
