#94480 — Python 3.4 Idle?

I got Idle the other day biut had to get the older version, 2.7, of python to get it. So I wonder if there is an Idle version  that comes with python 3.4.*?

What system are you on? What did you do to install Python? On Windows,
the python.org installers usually come with IDLE; on some Linuxes,
it's separately distributed; if you got a third-party Python distro,
it's up to them what they put in it. But yes, you most certainly can
get 3.4+ with IDLE.

Well I am exactly on Windows 10 beta preview on a 64 bit system. Idle is on my Programs menu but I cannot actually activate it.

I am sorry folks biut this isn't resolved yet about not being able to get the Idle in Python 3.4! Does it not work in WIndows 10?

I don't know.  

But Idle depends on Tkinter.

I would ask if Tkinter works on a Windows 10 beta preview over here:
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss

and see what they say.  If tkinter doesn't work, then idle won't.
If you have to do something special to get tkinter to work they
will know what it is.

And if they say -- no, works great here --- then we have a different
problem,  probably a bug.

"i cannot activate it" is very little information, there's no way without you giving
more details to tell what could be wrong.

My results on a Windows 10 preview machine:
installed the python 3.4.3 msi from python.org, installed "for all users", default options:
Idle is on the start menu ("IDLE - python 3.4 gui - 32 bit") and starts without
problems. Python seems to work just fine.

I suggest downloading the msi installer again and running the installation again (or
chose 'repair' if prompted).

Please state how you tried to run IDLE and exactly what happened, then 
we should be able to advise.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
