So what happens when you run the same command from a console? That should leave the errors visible. > I'm not sure how to edit it. What's required for Ulipad is quite > different, I believe. It shouldn't be, it just calls the interpreter with the pyw file to launch the editor and passes along any other command line arguments given to the bat file. > This is what I got from Dave Angel: > e: > cd \Python26\Lib\idlelib\ > ..\..\pythonw.exe idle.pyw %* > > And I can't decipher it.

If so it is almost certainly using the same interpreter as is running the editor itself (because the shell is probavbly using exec() ) The version of Python used to run your scripts could be anything however.
