[issue40256] Python 3.8 Not Launching on Bootcamp Windows 10.

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower  added the comment:

I assume the Bootcamp side of this is irrelevant and it's just an issue with 
Windows.

Yusuf, can you open Powershell and run "py" on its own?

If you've been going there and running "python" and you didn't select to update 
PATH, you're probably triggering the redirect to install via the Microsoft 
Store. When you pass that arguments, it fails (correctly) but doesn't print a 
message (incorrectly - I'm trying to get it fixed). But when you run it 
interactively it'll jump you to the store page for Python.

You probably just want to use the "py" launcher, since you've installed that 
way. Or if you install from the Store instead then it'll configure 
python/python3/python3.8 commands for you.

Hello, I have just updated to the new version of python 3.8.3.
The problem still occurs however, now an interactive black window does appear 
when an attempt to open any Python file.

'their website' == Apple's website? Homebrew's? Microsoft's? What about the 
Windows installer from python.org?

Do you get an error message when you start a command shell and type "python"?

How did you install Python? 

Does "python" work as a command (should give you an interactive shell)?

Does "python -m test" work? This runs the testsuite.

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren  added the comment:

AFAIK Windows 10 in Bootcamp is just the regular Windows 10. Bootcamp (or 
technically "Bootcamp Assistent") creates a partition for the installation of 
W10 and adds some drivers for Apple hardware.

[issue40256] Python 3.8 Not Launching on Bootcamp Windows 10.

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

I presume you mean the Mac Bootcamp program that allows one to run Windows on 
Macs.  I don't know if it runs *all* Windows programs or whether we 
specifically support running Windows python under Bootcamp.  I imagine that 
there might be problems with some GUI and graphics programs.

IDLE depends on multiple stdlibs, in particular tkinter, which depends on 
tcl/tk.  To test if the Windows versions work under Bootcamp, run "python -m 
tkinter" in Command Prompt.  You should see a tk window with text and a 
click-me button.  If that works, try "python -m turtle".  It should draw and 
erase a couple of patterns.  If both work, "python -m test".  Then try "python 
-m idlelib" and report any error messages that appear.
