Using the bigfile.py generation program from #17613 triggers the following traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/idle", line 5, in main() File "/usr/lib/python3.3/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 1431, in main if flist.open(filename) is None: File "/usr/lib/python3.3/idlelib/FileList.py", line 36, in open edit = self.EditorWindow(self, filename, key) File "/usr/lib/python3.3/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 113, in __init__ if self.io.filename: self.restore_file_breaks() File "/usr/lib/python3.3/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 229, in restore_file_breaks filename = self.io.filename AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'filename'

I misworded the first sentence. It should have read: "Using bigfile.py as generated by the program in #17613 can trigger the following traceback when quickly closing the editor." Other large files can be used to trigger the bug as well, like Lib/decimal.py.

Like #17613, the root cause is a call to .update() in Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py .restore_file_breaks(). The attached patch fixes the issue.

Is there a better way to reproduce the error in the first place. On 2.7 tip, ./python -m idelib.idle Opened and closed bigfile.py and decimal.py - and could not reproduce the error. If I could, I could have tested the patch.

I forgot to specify that the race condition gets triggered by pressing Alt-F4 the moment the IDLE editor window appears. I am reliably reproducing the error using the Konsole terminal under Arch Linux.

Updated patch based on Ezio's comments. Thank you, Ezio! Senthil, I wish I had a Mac to test against. I am able to trigger the bug on Win7 with 3.3. Without objection, I will commit the patch in the upcoming hours.
