After you've fixed your file extension association problems as outlined in the previous answer, PLEASE do not use IDLE to do anything remotely close to editing. Go search for "Notepad++", download it and use it to always edit your Python files. To get the contents of the file into IDLE for testing, just import the module. The very thought of using IDLE to edit files gave me goosebumps.
