On Windows, IDLE opens when you right click / edit a .py. Very useful.

On my xp machine with 3.1.2, it edit .py opens with notepad. Perhaps the installer just copies forward the association from long ago, before IDLE
was available, or at least so usable. I have thought of changing that,
but I do not know what the replacement incantation would be.

There should be an "Edit with IDLE" (sic) context menu item.

I agree, and thought about requesting such, but there is not and never has been for me that I know of. Actually, I would like Edit with IDLE x.y and Run with x.y so it is easy to test a file with different versions.


I have "Edit with IDLE" as a context menu option for Windows 7 - so it does exist *sometimes*. Either an XP issue or a "your system" issue I guess.

XP with updates, install for everyone, make install the default Python.

Should I open a tracker issue?
