Gabriel,
Thanks for your hints. I take them up one by one:

I upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5 and am unable to start an 2.5 idle
window. The OS is Windows ME. The download of 2.5 finished with a
warning saying that 2.5 was the highest version for Windows 9* Any
tips?
I'd suggest a couple more tests.
Open the Python interpreter and execute:
py> from idlelib import idle
This *should* launch IDLE, or raise an error...
>>> import idle
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:/PYTHON25/Lib/IDLELIB\idle.pyw", line 6, in <module>
import PyShell
File "C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 3, in <module>
ImportError: No module named os
>>> import os
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named os
If nothing happens, exit
the process and open another one, and execute:
py> import Tkinter
>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 37, in <module>
import FixTk # Attempt to configure Tcl/Tk without requiring PATH
File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\lib-tk\FixTk.py", line 1, in <module>
import sys, os
ImportError: No module named os
py> root = Tkinter.Tk()
py> root.mainloop()
An empty window should appear. If not, I'd say something is wrong with
the
Tcl/Tk libraries.
For the time being 2.4 works fine. I'd much prefer 2.5, though,
because it includes the image library (PIL), whereas 2.4 cannot even
use it.
PIL has an impressive compatibility record - it works with *any* Python
version from 1.5.2 up. You should be able to use PIL with 2.4 without
problems.
Another good hint to a side issue: I should download PIL for P2.4. I
guess it wasn't available back then and so I continued doing images with
P2.2.
The real issue seems to be a missing module "os".
C:\PYTHON25\LIB>dir os.*
Volume in drive C is PKBACK# 001
Volume Serial Number is 07D1-0103
Directory of C:\PYTHON25\Lib
OS PY 25,211 08-03-06 9:27a OS.PY
OS PYC 24,430 06-05-08 6:45p OS.PYC
2 file(s) 49,641 bytes
0 dir(s) 2,635.30 MB free
Here we are! Somehow the name got upper-cased! There's a whole bunch
(131) of upper-cased names in the Lib I shall install the whole thing
from scratch. That should take care if it. Thank you very much.
Frederic (Looking forward to Linux!)
