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
