<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> declaimed the following in comp.lang.python:
I had just finished working with IDLE, and tried to double-click on a py
file. It produced an OK dialog with the path to the file and the msg "access
denied." All my py files act that way. I rebooted and the same thing
continues. I copied one py program to another computer, and accessed it
there. Python 2.4. Suggestions?
Off-hand, I'd suspect some of your mistakes in trying to get a
console to run Python programs has left the association between .py and
the Python interpreter in a mess.
Go back to the console and enter
ftype python.file
exactly -- nothing else, and see what it displays. If it looks anything
other than (change the E: to whatever your installation uses)
C:\Documents and Settings\Dennis Lee Bieber>ftype python.file
python.file="E:\Python24\python.exe" "%1" %*
then you'll need to change it... (again ensure the path is correct)
ftype python.file="E:\Python24\python.exe" "%1" %*
The other place to explore would be from a directory window:
Tools/Folder Options/File Types
Find PY, click [advanced], select open, click [edit]
In the "Application used..." box, you should see (again, adjust for
your path)
"E:\Python24\python.exe" "%1" %*
[x] use DDE
Application: Python
Topic: System
(Hmmm, I don't recall if DDE is really applicable, but that's what mine
shows).
Thanks, again, but this one mysteriously disappeared. I managed to open my
py file into IDLE and saved it to see if that would work. It did and all is
well.
