Hi Alan, I found those references on the Python site. I tried the fixes but nothing seemed to work. I just resorted to re-installing Python to the default directory and everything is working great now. It seems that the space in pathnames (C:\Program Files\) is the big problem.
I'm still a novice to all this, but maybe there is a bug in the way IDLE creates the path on installation. Thanks for all your efforts in creating the tutorial. I'm slowly working through that now. Keep up the good work.
