idle3 ctrl+space crashes, how to fix it?

[zubaran]

Hi

I am learning python 3.
When I try to ctrl+space to call code assist idle3 crashes with traceback:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/idle3", line 5, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/lib/python3.1/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 1420, in main
root.mainloop()
File "/usr/lib/python3.1/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1012, in mainloop
self.tk.mainloop(n)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: illegal encoding
Does anybody know how to fix it? Some workaround?

Ubuntu 10.04.

i don't know python but see the output. "Unknown encoding".
Have you tried to change the encoding of your program from utf8 to something more common?

More common you say:o
utf8 is pretty much common for me.
Entire OS is using utf8 why should I put torment on me to change encoding.
Thanks anyway. At leat you tried):P

By the way. idle for python 2.7 is running ok. Without ctrl+space problems.
