I can no longer open the Idle IDE for Python on Windows 7.
For 3-5 years I used Idle for all my python work. But in January
this happens:
When I right click on a python file and choose "open with Idle"
nothing happens.
If I double-click on the file itself, it briefly opens an MS-DOS
looking window, then closes it immediately.
That should run the file and discard the output. Above is typical
Any idea why?
*Something* very specific to your system changed. Either registry
associations for .py are screwed, or your Python installation is
damaged. Easiest fix is to uninstall and re-install Python. But download
a more recent version first. Uninstall might not be needed, but makes
process more like to work.
In the regular interactive command prompt interpreter
import idlelib.idle
should start idle.
