Python 3.2 crashing when I try to save file

Running Mac OSX 10.6.6.

I installed python 3.2 last night on my computer. I played with some code in IDLE, but never ended up saving any of my work.

This morning, I tried to set up my Interactive Start Up File, as recommended here, but when I save the file as startup.py (or anything really) the entire application crashes. In other words, IDLE quits unexpectedly and this message comes on my screen.

Please note, I have blocked out the Anonymous UUID above because I'm not sure if this is sensitive information. Also, this message is not being generated by python, but my OS.

Please help.

You likely need to install ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5 as explained in detail here. As described, there are serious known problems with the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5 in Mac OS 10.6. In fact, you should have seen a warning in the IDLE shell about not using the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk and you should have seen a warning when installing Python 3.2.

If you have already installed ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5 and are seeing crashes, then please open an issue at http://bugs.python.org.
