I've taken a long break from Python, and now I want to try scripting with 2.62. I downloaded and installed 2.62, changed Win XP environmental variables to use Python26. Entering python at the command line shows I'm using 2.62:
C:\Documents and Settings\Riley>python Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> So I'm able to try out the new features of 2.6 (I had been using 2.51), but I can't get IDLE to use 2.6. When I click on E:\Python26\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw, I get an IDLE instance that says: Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. And of course, the new 2.6 features don't work. Advice, please.
