Maybe you have created a file named abc.py somewhere?
What happens when you type:

C:\Python26python.exe -c import abc; print abc

[issue12094] Cannot Launch IDLE

Thanks for the speedy reply I have cut and past the results from the for 
following tests

I can't test this on Windows, but you could try the following things:
  1) check that 'python.exe -V' returns 2.6.6;
  2) try using the IDLE shortcut in the start menu;
  3) try from abc import ABCMeta from the interactive interpreter;
  4) install Python 2.7 and see if it works there.


1) C:\Documents and Settings\buckpython.exe -V
   Python 2.6.6

2.) Does not open from the start menu

3.) C:\Documents and Settings\buckpython
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
 Python 2.6.6 (r266:84297, Aug 24 2010, 18:46:32) [MSCv.1500
 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
 Type help, copyright, credits or license for 
 more information.
  from abc import ABCMeta
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File stdin, line 1, in module
 ImportError: cannot import name ABCMeta

4.)  C:\Python27python.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File C:\Python27\lib\site.py, line 62, in module
import os
  File C:\Python27\lib\os.py, line 398, in module
import UserDict
  File C:\Python27\lib\UserDict.py, line 83, in module
import _abcoll
  File C:\Python27\lib\_abcoll.py, line 11, in module
from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
ImportError: cannot import name ABCMeta

Lastly

C:\Python26python.exe -c import abc; print abc
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
module 'abc' from 'C:\w\ADCP_programs\abc.py'

Thanks again

Nathan

[issue12094] Cannot Launch IDLE

[Nathan]

New submission from Nathan nathaniel.j.b...@gmail.com:

To Whom it may concern – I have suddenly lost my ability to launch IDLE.  I am 
using 2.6 with windows xp.  I was using ipython with PyReadline.  I have 
uninstalled and reinstalled just python 2.6.6 with no luck.

I get the following error:

Thanks in advance 

C:\Python26python.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.py
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File Lib\idlelib\idle.py, line 6, in module
