Months ago 2.5.2 stopped functioning on my Win7 PC, so a few days ago I
uninstalled and installed. Same problem. If one right-clicks on a py
file, IDLE is not shown in the menu as Edit with IDLE. After playing
with matters I gave up, and uninstalled 2.5.2 and turned to 2.7.2. Same
results.
I'm not sure I'd describe the lack of IDLE in a context menu as
"python not functioning".
If I look at a 2.4 install on my laptop, I get the desired reference to
Edit with IDLE.
My guess is that Win 7 is behind this. If so, it's good-bye Python.
It was working originally, right? So the problem can't really just be
Win 7.
Can you add IDLE manually to the associated applications list?
Not successfully. I tried it and pointed to idle.pyw. It gave a Invalid
Win32 app.
