Terry J. Reedy added the comment: There already is an idlelib/idle.bat that starts the corresponding python with
set CURRDIR=%~dp0 start "IDLE" "%CURRDIR%..\..\pythonw.exe" "%CURRDIR%idle.pyw" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 Arguments added to the .bat command are passed on. So the enhancement requested already exists. C:\Programs>python34\lib\idlelib\idle.bat, for instance, starts 3.4, and changing '34' to '33' or '27' starts 3.3 or 2.7. python -E ignores PYTHON* environment variables. Unfortunately, this seems to prevent python from running idle. Adding -E to the above or directly to C:\Programs\Python34>pythonw.exe Lib/idlelib/idle.pyw -E results in a new prompts with no visible action. Since I do not have any PYTHON* vars to ignore, this puzzle me. Does this indicate a bug in the startup handling of -E? (Nick?) Except for this puzzle, I would close this as a third party issue. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15780> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
