I just subscribed for python and I am VERY NEW. I would like to have a an IDLE. My texts are just the same whether it is comment or def or statement or ...... how am I going to make it highlighted ..my scientific package is not working and complaining about not able to find/load DLL ... frustrating for the first day in the python world. ANY tip ?

And has been mentioned at least three times in the last week -- pythonw.exe is the version of the Python interpreter that is supposed to be the default application for .pyw files. It is the version that does NOT open a console window for stdin/stdout (IOWs, it is meant for use by Python scripts that use a graphical library for all I/O -- Tk, wxPython, etc.). If you ran a graphical script using the plain python.exe it would open a console window that would just sit there until the script exited. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfr...@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
