If you mean you wanted to try the PythonWin IDE instead of IDLE, all you needed to do was go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/hit the big download button and make sure you get the 2.5 version (it's the default atm) and install it. >>> Yes, I want to try the PythonWin IDE instead of IDLE.

I installed "Python" 2.5 a few months ago with IDLE, and decided I'd like to try windowpy from ActiveState. Is having both of these installed going to cause me trouble? -- W. eWatson (121.015 Deg.
