I use Windows 7. After installing Python you can right click on a .py file and you get a pull down menu. The option for Edit with IDLE has an expanding menu. The only item in the pull down menu is..........Edit with IDLE. So to run a .py program, you have to right click and select the pull down menu Edit with IDLE and then inside that menu you pick Edit with IDLE. Seems a little redundant. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
