There seems to be a problem. python 2 seems to be the only version opening my files unless i do a few things. So with the shebang set:
the python launcher, launches my python 3 files with the correct version if i double click the file or run it from a console. But it uses the wrong version if i run it from IDLE or if i right click the file and open with the Python Launcher. i guess i can live with that, but is there anyway around this? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
