Shane Smith added the comment: Hi Vedran, that seems to now be the default behavior, regardless of previous installs (my 3.6 was a clean install, and it's still nested). Kind of a pain if you want to edit with IDLE frequently.
While we wait for a more integrated solution, the hackish way to restore desired behavior is to run a .bat file containing: REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\editwithidle" Then run a .reg file (also just a text file with altered extension so windows knows what to do with it) with: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\Edit with IDLE 3.6\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Python36\\pythonw.exe\" -m idlelib \"%L\" %*" ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27603> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
