It should be the second item on the right click context menu when hovering over a .py. If not, check your Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / File Types / Advanced. There should be an "Edit with IDLE" in the dialog selection box. Perhaps you overrode it at some point. I've found that whatever version of IDLE is installed last grabs this function. If you build from svn, you don't get it, of course, unless you set it manually. And, you can use the manual setting to select a specific Python/IDLE version. > > Should I open a tracker issue? No, it's your system configuration, 99% probable. -- KBK _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
