#41691 — Python IDLE

Dear Sir, Madame,

I am having trouble starting up IDLE.

I have found threads with similar stories, however I haven't managed to solve mine.

basically:

I have installed both python 2.7 and python 3 on windows 7
both IDLEs used to work
tried running program in command bar and still nothing
tried making exception from anti-virus computer. ( i am using AVG)
no errors come up, program just doesn't start.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Steve

I just love when people send "private" messages to *public* newsgroups, and then have the audacity to include a legal statement asking us to keep the message private. You folks really have a sense of humor.

You say below that "both" IDLE's used to work. So what have you done to 
change the situation? What's different?

Great! Then you know that you can have both Python 2.7 and Python 3 
running IDLE on Windows 7 successfully.


> tried running program in command bar and still nothing 

What do you mean? Can you explain *precisely* what you did, and what 
happened? E.g.

"I clicked on the Start Menu, then clicked on X, then clicked on Y, then 
the computer went dark and turned off"

... or something.

I see from your email disclaimer that you are emailing from a company. 
Does your company have a Windows system administrator? If so, perhaps he 
or she could shed some light on what's going on? (I don't use Windows, so 
I'm a little lost myself.)


Good luck!
