Hi, (from a total newbie w/ Python. Oh well.) I can run Python in command-line mode fine from the cygwin shell; the cygwin distribution also includes IDLE, which is apparently completely installed, yet I am unable to get IDLE running. When I double-click idle.bat (or idle.pyw) I am prompted to locate the program's creator. Darn if I know what it is. If I try to invoke IDLE from cygwen bash, I get "unable to remap c:\cygwin\bin\tk84.dll to same address as parent".
Obviously I don't know Unix (heck, any OS at a deep level), so this is likely what creates the fog. Sorry. Also - could someone plz recommend some useful environment variables for Python on Windows? If I were to specify PYTHONDOC, should I use Unix or Windows notation (e.g., "/" or "\"). Many thanks for helping me bootstrap into this.
