I am on Windows 8, Python 3.3.4 and 3.3.3 and all previous versions exhibit the same problem on my Windows 8 PC. This problem occurred out of nowhere overnight. It was working fine for months until today.

>  I tried to open a file and nothing happened. If I tried to open a .py file
> (any .py file) from an existing instance of IDLE, it briefly flashed up a
> new window and then closed both the new window and the existing window
> (normally it opens the requested in a new window leaving the existing window
> untouched).
>
> If I launch the Python GUI it opens a Python Shell fine. But as soon as I
> try to open a file (including a "new" file), it closes the Shell.
>
> I rebooted the machine. Same problem.
>
> I repaired the Python installation and rebooted. Same problem.
>
> I uninstalled Python. Rebooted. Deleted the Python33 directory entirely.
> Rebooted. Installed Python. Rebooted. Same problem.
>
> Everything else on the system appears to be working just fine.
>
> Any ideas what the problem might be or how else I might go about fixing
> things?
