Title:
  idle-python2.7 Can't Open Existing File (

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

    Kubuntu 13.4, KDE Platform Version 4.11.2...
     Installed idle-python2.7 via MuonPackage Manager.  

  After downloading the package for IDLE (python2.7) I found I could not
  open any existing files from "<TOOLBAR>->File->Open". This would only
  result in a blank (grayish) screen that would freeze and stay open
  after closing IDLE.

  After running the source in "/usr/lib/python2.7/idlelib/idle.py", I
  discover the problem is on line 129 on file
  "/usr/lib/python2.7/idlelib/IOBinding.py". There seems to be a
  variable declared incorrectly.

  -- for line in lst:       #This line causing exception  
  ++for line in str:      #Changin line to this fixed the problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Regards,

  sifter
