right?) to do anything. I double-click it, nothing happens. I run it
from a command prompt, it just returns me to the command prompt.

Ummm. That's the Python interpreter but without a window so
(unhelpfully, from your point of view) it's doing exactly the
right thing.

I assume you were trying to run the PythonWin Python
interpreter and dev env? On my system, that's:

C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\Pythonwin.exe
