Works as designed. You are proceeding from a false assumption. pythonw.exe is not meant to provide an interactive Python shell. A little Web research would have showed that to you. <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9705982/pythonw-exe-or-python-exe> (First hit for “pythonw” on Google with my account. I have never visited that site before or can remember to have searched for “pythonw”.) > I also attempted to run "idle", with the following results: > > C: \Users\judy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Lib\idlelib>idle.py > ** IDLE can't import Tkinter. > Your Python may not be configured for Tk. ** I do not know IDLE well (if at all after all this time). Make sure that you have installed the prerequisites. But it strikes me as odd to run a GUI- based application from the Windows command shell. Is there not an icon that you can use instead to run it? Presumably that would execute a .bat or .cmd script that sets up the PYTHONPATH.
