[issue8723] IDLE won't start import os error

2010-05-14 Thread James Morgan

New submission from James Morgan :

Hi,

For some reason I have recently lost the ability to open IDLE for python 2.6.2.

I was able to open it for 2.5 without issue. I reinstalled 2.6.2 several times, 
removed 2.5, tried 2.6.5 instead, still cannot load IDLE. I can load the python 
command prompt however.

When attempting to run idle through cmd.exe I get an error in line 3 of 
pyshell.py

"import os
ImportError: No module named os"

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.

I have used idle before on this system without issue, and since 2.5 worked I 
figured there was some difference between 2.5 and 2.6 which was causing the 
issue.

I have found since that the issue is likely not with idle at all however, but 
rather with the modules... while the python command line works I am unable to 
use it to run one of my scripts. Attempting to run through cmd revealed that it 
was failing as it could not import shutil.

I am new to this help system so apologies if i have miscategorised this issue. 
Since it seems the nature of the problem is not what I initially thought I will 
move it to extension modules.

I have no idea if it is relevant, but I am running on XP pro SP3.

Thanks

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood the function as I saw some issues which appeared 
similar in style to my own.

Never mind this then I will seek help elsewhere. Thankyou.
