I am new to the Python. I have installed Python 2.6.2 version in windows
XP.
When I try to open the IDLE(Python GUI), getting the below message.
Others have advised what to do for IDLE but since you are on XP I'd
strongly recommend using Pythonwin instead of IDLE.
If you downloaded Python from the python.org web site you need to
download and install the additional Windows package and inside that
you will find Pythonwin. This is a more powerful IDE than IDLE with
several useful Windows specific extras. Find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/
Select the version corresponding to your version of Python..
If you got your Python from activestate.com then pythonwin is already
included.
In fact I'd go so far as to recommend dumping the python.org installation
and getting the activestate version. It has a whole bunch of extras
including
all of the python documentation in Windows help format.
