Thanks. I didn't notice the file name was wrong until I tried to install it. Can I ask you about alternative environments? How do Active Python and IDLE from python.org compare? I'm just starting out with it and I know they run the same code but I don't want to have to change environments later. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yes. I just wanted to know which programming environment is prefered by regular users, maybe even one that I haven't heard of yet. ... try reading this very recent (still active) thread: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/9577320064fa33eb/7ad49f0d44ecbc47?hl=en#7ad49f0d44ecbc47 My two-grain of salt: PythonWin is simple and nice BUT breaks if you do Tkinter Gui (and try to run a program while the previous run isn't finished) Python Scripter - light, nice, some nice features but missing code folding, if you like that... Pydev + Eclipse (Eclipse is Java based plugin type environment) lots of stuff (to much for some) and heavy [t's Java after all ;-) ] But nowadays with RAM, and processor speed - it's nice to do almost every task in the same basic environment (plugins for almost anything) BTW Kudos to all the people behind these apps (mark hammond of pywin fame, kiriakos vlahos for python scripter , and fabio zadrozny for pydev) jean-marc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Ah, the PythonWin IDE/Editor is part of PyWin32 -- which is included as a standard part of ActivePython. IDLE is also included in ActivePython, BTW. ActivePython just doesn't setup a shortcut in the Start Menu for it. You could add your own. As jean-marc suggests, you might want to search the python-list archives for peoples opinions on Python IDEs and editors. Also check out: http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors ActiveState has a Python IDE called Komodo http://www.activestate.com/Products/Komodo/ which I work on (so I'm biased :).
