Re: [Tutor] Getting Idle to work in Win7
Hi Wayne. I'm interested in the issues your facing. Could you right click on the IDLE shortcut in your start menu and tell me the details? Specifically under: *General*:* type of file, description, location, attributes*, (any *advanced * attributes?); *Shortcut*: tab, the *Target type*, *Target location *(if any), *Target*, *Start in* path, *Run *choice, any *Advanced *options? *Compatability: *anything selected here? *Security: *Are the permissions Full control? *Details: **name, type, path, owner* Looking forward to resolving the issue, Alexander.

I decided to re-install. It looks like I'm in the same boat as before. Edit with IDLE isn't even a choice. I tried from the command line to run pythonw.exe, and that gave me the typical >>> input choice. Python at least works at that level. IDLE comes up with idle.pyw.

[Tutor] Getting Idle to work in Win7
It's been many months since I played with Python, and have forgotten how to bring up IDLE. If I simply click on a py file, I see what may be a dos window appear and quickly disappear. If I right-click on the file, and select IDLE, the same thing happens. If I go directly to All Programs, the same thing happens when I select IDLE. -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.
