Kaiser (kbk) Summary: IDLE does not start 2.4.3 Initial Comment: IDLE does not start. 2.4.3 Installed Python 2.4.3 on Windows XP SP 2 I shutoff my ZoneAlarm Firewall and Stopped the Windows Firewall, turned off all Anti-Virus services. Python was 2.4.2 was previously installed on this machine and worked fine. Machine was wiped, reloaded and Python 2.4.3 was available. Steps: 1. Click Start -> All Programs -> Python 2.4 -> IDLE (Python GUI) 2. pythonw.exe process starts for a few seconds, then stops 3. Nothing happens ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2006-04-21 08:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 A patch which offers such functionality would surely be appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Erin (egrimes) Date: 2006-04-21 05:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1503943 When Python installed, my admin account was not given permission to access the C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\.idlerc folder which was preventing Python from starting. Thanks for showing me how to start IDLE in cmd prompt, that showed me the permission denied error on the folder. Might want to have python throw some sort of error if it tries to open via shortcut and that folder is blocked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Terry J. Reedy (tjreedy) Date: 2006-04-20 22:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=593130 I have opposite experience. Winxp home sp2, upgraded without uninstall. Did not turn off Win Firewall or AV. Idle 1.1.3 starts up nice as can be. File/Recent File list is still there. Opened one with test code and it just reran; all tests pass as did before with, I believe, same test report output. What happens when you open a Python command window? Have you run test/regrtest.py or anything else? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2006-04-20 22:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 1. Start up a command line (Start -> Run -> cmd). 2. Change to the directory in which Python is installed (the following will likely work, if you installed Python using the default configuration)... c: cd \python24 3. Run idle from the command line... python lib\idlelib\idle.pyw Tell us what it prints out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1471806&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
