Terry J. Reedy added the comment: .py files are not 'IDLE based', even if edited with IDLE. They are Python files and should normally be registered to run with Python directly, and not via IDLE.
The right click context menu *should* include "Edit with IDLE". I have re-marked this issue for that problem, though I believe there is another issue about this. I have Win 10 also and I have "Edit with IDLE >" which open submenu containing "Edit with IDLE 3.5 (64 bit)" and "Edit with IDLE 3.6 (64 bit)". This is a Windows installer issue, not an IDLE issue per se. I don't understand "And when I try to choose the IDLE application, it just defaults to the command line version every time". If you mean that clicking the IDLE entry in the start menu brings up console Python, then something went wrong in your installation process. Have you tried re-installing? Are there any error messages while installing? ---------- assignee: terry.reedy -> components: +Installation, Windows -IDLE nosy: +paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29014> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
