Being specific is really important. The subject line is slightly 
misleading. Python is working fine for you. Idle is too. I *suspect* you 
are trying to open via a Library or Favorite. There is a known issue 
that this does not work on Win 7 and it seems to be a bug in tcl/tk or 
Windows that we have no control or responsibility for. Opening via a 
normal directory works fine. If the above is *not* what you are doing, 
please be exactly specific.
