There must be something wrong with your Python installation.
Right-click->"Edit with Idle" and starting IDLE from All Programs works fine
for me. (Win 7 64-bit, with both Python 2.7 and 3.2 installed.)  I suggest
you reinstall Python as a start.  It might also be worthwhile to try to run
your Python script from the command line, as well as starting Idle from the
command line so you can see what error message might be printed.
