Undoubtedly some of you have seen my post Both Python 2.5.2 and 2.7.2
flop the same way under Win 7.

One thing I think no one has offered is whether their installation of
2.7.2 has the same IDLE oddity that I've described. That is, if you
right-click on a py file, do you see a choice for the IDLE editor?

Terry Reedy has already said that his installation works fine.

"I installed 3.3.2 on a new Win 7 machine and Edit with IDLE works
fine."


If you have installed the regular, 32-bit version of Python on a 64-bit
version of Windows, chances are good that there will be registry
problems
stopping things from working correctly. See Stephen Hansen's post.



Somehow 3.3.2 doesn't look like 2.7.2.

Ah, I installed a 32-bit. Missed his post. So what should I do? Try
3.3.2 64-bit? I'm game. By the time you read this, I will either have
done it or gotten into it.

3.3.2? I do not see that in his single message I found. I see a 3.2.2
release on <http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2.2/>. Google
shows me nothing for 3.3.2.

I see:
* Windows x86 MSI Installer (3.2.2) (sig) and Visual Studio debug
information files (sig)
* Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (3.2.2) [1] (sig) and Visual Studio debug
information files (sig)

Visual Studio???? I hope I don't need VS!

If you look more closely you'll see that there are 5 links on each line:

    Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (3.2.2)
    [1]
    (sig)
    Visual Studio debug information files
    (sig)

Unless you intending to work on the sources, you need just the first
one:

    Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (3.2.2)

for a 64-bit build of Python 3.2.2.
