While I agree that it shouldn't be imposed on changing previous code, changing
the documentation isn't changing the previous code it is encouraging future
code. I think that the documentation should have a caveat. I'm seeing a lot of
new code using tkinter

Ok, so really bizarre. I uninstalled 2.7.11, then I was getting the same error
with the 2.7.11 msi. So I was thinking that I should go back to the original
version I had installed (2.7.10) the installer showed a "repair" option so I
did that, then

@Zachary,
I tried to uninstall (the C:\python27\ directory seemed to persist after) the
install of 2.7.12 failed again same message.

@Steve,
I think my pip install was fine? I was using pip pretty regularly with 2.7.11.

2.7.12 failed again with the same issue

I was running:
Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:32:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
I downloaded the msi for Pytho

I agree with your assessment Steve. I don't see there being a good fix to this.
I also think it would be a bad idea to have the launcher change the current
working directory.
Example:
c:\foo\> python d:\scripts\bar.py myfile
(where myfile is in c:\

That is interesting, in my use #3 seems to work. I am not certain if it matters
whether the default application is already selected as python.exe or not.
FWIW I'm on Windows 7 64 bit using 2.7.11 release install.
**Full Disclosure** I did muck in the registry
New submission from Tom Middleton:
I have found that the execution of python scripts is inconsistent from the
following methods:
>From Explorer:
1) Right-Click->Open with->python.exe
2) Right-Click->Open (assuming python.exe being the "default" application)
3) Right-Cli

Using Tkinter under Python 2.7.1 (Windows XP FWIF)
If using the tkSimpleDialog.askinteger() function with an initialvalue = 0, the
0 is not displayed in the dialog box. The same is true for
tkSimpleDialog.askfloat().
The cause
