What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.pickAFile() 2.if print file is entered this will come up: <type 'file'>

  1. When I do picture = makePicture(file) this comes up: The error was:isabs() argument must be a str or unicode object, not type object 'file' Inappropriate argument type. An attempt was made to call a function with a parameter of an invalid type. This means that you did something such as trying to pass a string to a method that is expecting an integer. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Thye expected output should be the showing of a picture. Instead this comes up: The error was:isabs() argument must be a str or unicode object, not type object 'file' Inappropriate argument type. An attempt was made to call a function with a parameter of an invalid type. This means that you did something such as trying to pass a string to a method that is expecting an integer. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I am using JES 4.3 with Java included on a Lenovo Thinkpad with Windows 7 professional. Please provide any additional information below. This problems happens quite often and so far the only way to fix it is to wait a few days.

I am having the same issue with two Mac laptops, running 10.6.8. The line pic = makePicture(pickAFile()) brings up the dialog box to pick the file just fine, but then makePicture gives the error message:

The error was: expected 1-2 args; got 0 Inappropriate argument type. An attempt was made to call a function with a parameter of an invalid type. This means that you did something such as trying to pass a string to a method that is expecting an integer.

Additionally, the turtle code t = makeTurtle(makeWorld()) does not give an error, but no turtle is displayed on the screen.

This error only occurs on my two personal laptops, not the 20 Macs which I have in a cart for student use. I have installed different versions of Python and Tcl/Tk on these machines than the standard OS X ones--could this be the culprit?
