I installed Python 3.1 yesterday on my Windows Vista PC, and was surprised to find that the version of IDLE is 2.6.4, for "Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32"
I was hoping to use IDLE to investigate some of the new features of Python 3...
I guess I'm stuck with the command line...
Anyone know what's up with Python 3's IDLE?
Thanks
Got it! I changed the Target of the shortcut to "c:\Python31\pythonw.exe" "c:\Python31\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyW" (with the quotes), and now the shortcut (and shortcut key) open version 3.1.1 of IDLE. Idea was from the 1st answer to the question at How to start IDLE (Python editor) without using the shortcut on Windows Vista?
Type 'idle3' in the terminal window. That should launch your copy of idle 3.1
