As far as I can tell, nobody running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 has chimed in to either confirm or refute W. eWatson's claim that IDLE doesn't show up,
On the contrary, back when he first posted, I stated that 64-bit Python 3.2.2 on my 64-bit Windows 7 works fine, just as he wants it to.
so we have no way of telling whether it doesn't show up due to a lack in the installer, or because eWatson has (slightly) broken his system and has inadvertently prevented it from showing up.
I also noted that I had slightly screwed up my previous machine, and the installers never fixed up the deviation. So I gave him a better alternative that I use. He has ignored that and most everything else I posted.
When he later revealed that IDLE does not run by any means, that he should fix *that* before worrying about right-clicks.
Fixing the associations is a Windows issue, not a Python issue. Even if it turns out that the installer does neglect to set up menu commands for IDLE (which should be reported as a feature request on the bug tracker),
The installer for each version has been setting up commands for IDLE for perhaps a decade or more.
