I wasn’t able to get the IDLE started in windows XP. I had it working then I upgraded to 2.4, then it didn’t work so I switched back to 2.3, still didn’t work so I’m back to 2.4.  I did some looking around and I was able to get the IDLE started by setting the shortcut on my desktop to:

 

C:\Python24\python.exe C:\Python24\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw –n

 

Not sure what this does. But is seems to get it going. What is going on here? Also I get a console that appears with this message - I have no idea what it means:

 

Warning: configHandler.py – IdleConf.GetThemeDict – problem retrieving theme element ‘builtin-background’

For theme ‘Jeff’

Returning default value: ‘#ffffff’

 

Anyhow if anyone can explain what is going on here I would appreciate the help… and is there anyway to get the IDLE icon in my windows start menu to work?

Ok thanks for the help!

 

Jeff
