What experience have others had with Idle and Windows 8? The OP for https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28633690/python-installation-troubleshooting wrote in a comment "I am invoking it from a win8 startmenu program, so I tried to do it via the normal windows 8 interface and it works from there," I do not know what 'normal windows 8 interface' means, but does it work for anyone else? > pythonw.exe appears in the task manager but no gui is displayed. pythonw.exe should appear *twice* in task manager. Please try 3.4.3rc1 and 3.5.0a1 https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ If the Idle does not start correctly on Win 8, perhaps we could fix it before 3.4.3 final (which should be soon). -- Terry Jan Reedy
