What is the name of the IDLE program on Linux and where is it installed in a normal Linux distribution ? I have installed all the Python 2.3.5 RPMs on my Fedora 3 system but I have no idea where they are installed or what IDLE is called. I lloked in the Python web pages to try to find a list of the files in the various installations, but was unable to find the information.
Try idle (all lower case). On my RH-9 system it is in /usr/local/bin
Thanks. The system came with Python and the development libraries but not with the latest installation and tools. Once I was able to install all the latest Python RPM for Fedora 3, 'idle' showed up. Now all I have to do is find everything else, including the latest documentation files. It is a pity the Python Linux binary installations do not create folders on the desktop or in the Gnome menu system with links to the Python to the documentation and a readme telling me what executables were installed.
