Default .py program and Edit with IDLE problem

Hello, I installed python 3.6.2 for making running and editing programs. Later on I installed python 2.7 because a program that I downloaded only works with that. Later I deleted the program. I then wanted to run a program from cmd but it was giving me all kinds of errors I didn’t used to get.

Is my IDLE problem caused by .idlerc? Permissions.

I installed 64-bit Python 2.7.2 on Win 7. IDLE does appear as the second choice on right-click of a py file menu. However, nothing happens if I use it. If I try to execute idle from the cmd window, it complains about .idlerc\recent-files.lst IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\

IDLE problem

Hi, I have a strange problem with the latest 2.4.4 on MS XP. If I rrun a test script in DOS window, it is ok. From the Python shell I got error: Python 2.4.4 (#71, Oct 18 2006, 08:34:43) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

Hi,   I have encountered the same problem so you can try the following :   - Be sure your %PYTHONPATH% is set - open a DOS console and type : "python C:\Python23\Lib\idlelib\idle.py" -> this will launch the IDLE - then choose "configure IDLE" in Options menu - in the menu "Highlighting" on

This sure seems like it would have been brought up but I checked Google Groups (the dejanews replacement) and saw nothing: I installed Python2.4 in Win98 and IDLE doesn't work (neither does the online manual even tho a 3.6KB Python24.chm is there, but that's a story for another day) - that is, cli

Re: IDLE problem :-(

This is less of a bug and more of an inconvenience, on your part. It happens because IDLE has a tailored shell allowing your cursor to venture beyond the prompt, and across the text that the window consists of (much like a loaded file in a text editor) Thus, the beginning of each line is not limi
