'name' to 'expression' as the latter is what the string actually represents.
The bug in this issue was only catching NameError and AttributeError when
evaluating an expression that was not necessarily a name.
Without this patch IDLE will crash reliably on OSX when Tkinter
is linked to TkCocoa 8.5.x.
To reproduce:
* Create a new file (script.py) with the following two lines:
x = raw_input('prompt: ')
print x
* Save the script
* Run the script using the F5 keyboard shortcut
(running from the menu works fine)
The patch is a fairly crude hack, but we haven't found a better
workaround for this Tk bug yet.

#10404: Use ctl-button-1 for context menus on OSX Idle.
This provides access to the context menus where they previously could
not be accessed due to the way OSX Tk binds buttons. It also
improves platform consistency.
