Bring up IDLE and type in any program.
Run the module and it runs just fine.
Try to use the Exit button of the running program and it hangs.
Pressing a second time will bring up a Windows dialog message that the
program is not responding . Click to kill the program and it return to
IDLE . I have tried the programs with drPython and it works just fine .
I'm using Windows XP SP3 - Python 2.6.1 - and wxPython 2.8 (unicode)
I have reinstalled Python 2.6.2 and 2.5.4 with no success -
Any suggestions????

Additional testing -- apparently this is only happening when I run a
program that imports pyGame. If I run IDLE and do not import, it
functions properly .

[skillybob]

Additional testing - ran programs that call (import) pyGame using
drPython and everything works fine ... just when using IDLE and pyGame
am I getting this action. Rats!!

[skillybob]

Additional testing - tried programs on a different computer with a
fresh copy of Python and pyGame - same results
Program will not close(hangs) in IDLE - but will close with drPython
Go Figure.

Can you add some example ?
Is the bug new to python 2.6 ?

[skillybob]

I'm not sure if the bug is in Python(IDLE) or pyGame - I'm pretty new to
this . I'm still checking out various things - thanks for your interest!

Problem solved - I need to add an additional command to any program that
calls pyGame. pygame.quit ()
One of those little undocumented things that pop up now and then

This is even documented:

[skillybob]

Yes, you are correct. My lack of experience is showing. Thanks for your
interest.
