Undoubtedly some of you have seen my post Both Python 2.5.2 and 2.7.2

One thing I think no one has offered is whether their installation of
2.7.2 has the same IDLE oddity that I've described. That is, if you
right-click on a py file, do you see a choice for the IDLE editor?
Terry Reedy has already said that his installation works fine.
"I installed 3.3.2 on a new Win 7 machine and Edit with IDLE works fine."
If you have installed the regular, 32-bit version of Python on a 64-bit
version of Windows, chances are good that there will be registry problems
stopping things from working correctly. See Stephen Hansen's post.
Somehow 3.3.2 doesn't look like 2.7.2.
Ah, I installed a 32-bit. Missed his post. So what should I do? Try
3.3.2 64-bit? I'm game. By the time you read this, I will either have
done it or gotten into it.
