I've seen this problem too, where some files inside IDLE.app remain, even after uninstalling the applicable Python port. I don't know why this happens... If you look in /Applications/MacPorts, you should see one or more folders whose names start with "Python". Inside these, you might find the IDLE.app. If so, you can remove it. If you've uninstalled all of MacPorts, you should be able to delete the entire /Applications/MacPorts folder. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52160#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS

And I should say, if there's anything else in your /Applications/MacPorts folder, besides Python folders containing broken IDLE apps, please let us know, because if you've already uninstalled all MacPorts ports, /Applications/MacPorts should already have been removed by MacPorts; anything remaining in that folder is either there because you put it there or because of a bug, and we'd like to know about bugs. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52160#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS

Dear Ryan, Thanks a lot for your response. The Macports app is completely removed including all the folders. I am left with this broken IDLE app that I can't find anywhere else in the mac accept for in the launchpad. So maybe it's an apple bug?

My understanding of the Launchpad is that it shows applications that are installed. So if IDLE.app is still showing there, then IDLE.app must still exist on your drive somewhere. You could use Spotlight to search for it. Does anything happen if you click IDLE.app in Launchpad? Any error message? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52160#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
