I started off by using "python-3.8.5.exe".
32-bit Windows installer? Windows version might be relevant.
I use "Run as Administrator" option to click this (provide my local-admin
username/pwd).
After this, I see python shell available. But no IDLE. Not sure why?
You mean no IDLE entry on Python 3.8 directory on Start menu?
Installer has a checkbox for tkinter and IDLE. It is on by default for
a fresh install but I expect it defaults to previous install for reinstalls.
On a command line, run 'python -c "import tkinter' to see if you have
tkinter. 'python -m idlelib' starts IDLE if present.
From CMD, I can check "pip list". Surprisingly, it shows me packages that I
installed earlier, before deinstalling and reinstalling.
De-installing does not remove pythonxy directory if you add anything to it.
Something is not right. Hence I am trying to make a fresh restart.
One thing odd is that even after removing installed program (Python) from
control panel, I still find that from "Start".
Have you installed more than one version of Python? Or both 32 and 64
bit variation of same Python version?
