#106159 — Pyscripter Issues

Hi

I have been having issues trying to run python 3.5.1 and pyscripter 2.6. Giving the error message that it cannot initialize python.

I have tried to re-install multiple versions of both python and pyscripter to no avail. Any advice?

Thanks

Simon

Yes: start by copying and pasting the full error message here, so we can
read it, rather than summarising it.

Generally speaking, re-installing Python should be your last resort. At the
very least, there's no point in re-installing until you can be sure that
Python itself is broken.

What happens if you run "python3" from the command prompt? I've barely
touched Windows for probably eight years, and I have no idea how to get a
command prompt in Windows 10, but if you can get command.com or cmd.exe
(whichever it is) and try running Python from that, you'll soon find out
whether Python itself is working.

Which version of Python did you get: 32-bit or 64-bit?  I vaguely recall
that PyScripter won't work with the 64-bit version.
