would like to know if there's an easier way to start it than
what I use? I pick on a py file, and then use the pull down menu,
right-click, to select IDLE.
Yes, it should be on the Start menu possibly listed as Python GUI.
Or you can set up a shortcut to it by selecting idle.pyw in explorer
and creating a shortcut and dragging it to your desktop.
Or you could do yourself a favour and get the Pythonwin
extensions and use Pythonwin instead. IDLE is fine for a
cross platform IDE but it is ugly and less feature rich than
Pythonwin. And the pythonwin installer sets up the menus
etc for you.
