I have Python 2.4.3 installed on Windows XP on both a real computer and a virtual machine under VMware. Just recently, IDLE stopped working. I would select IDLE from the start menu or right click on a .PY file and open it in IDLE, but nothing happens. I just uninstalled Python on the virtual machine and installed 2.5 in the hope that that would fix the problem, but it didn't. It, too, would do nothing when I tried to run IDLE. In both cases, the Python command line window will come up, but that's not what I want to use.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem? Is there a new Windows update that is now interfering with IDLE? Would Norton Antivirus be interfering with it somehow? (It's running in both environments.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
