Thomas Kember added the comment: Thanks, I backed that file on to a memory stick and deleted it. I made a shortcut to the idle batch file on the desktop. When I click on it, Idle comes up fine. What has happened here? What is config-extensions.cfg for and why has it stopped Idle coming up? And why can Idle work without it? In any case, I am now able to work on my little programs. Thank you again. Tomk

Does it start? and if not, would you mind re-running the same command again? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21973> _______________________________________ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21973> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
