Since I prefer to keep all my installed programs in one place, I went ahead
and installed Python in Program Files/Python. The command line shell seems
to work just fine, and I'm able to import things like urllib and its
dependencies.
However, I can't get Idle to startup. When I try running it manually (i.e.
python ...idle.py), I get
E:Program: can't open file 'Files\Python\p ython.exe
Obviously this is an error in in parsing the path name, but I can't figure
out where it's occurring. I've instrumented the python code, and it seems
to happen on the call to accept, but instrumenting the .c code and
rebuilding the socket library is more than I'm willing to do right now.
I'm also not sure it isn't being triggered in a different process (which
makes more sense to me), but I don't know why the main process would die in
accept. (I have prints before and after the call to self._sock.acce pt().).
In any event, the obvious workaround for me is to move my install.
However, I'm not sure if this is a known problem, a new problem, or a
"won't be fixed" problem.
Many thanks,
Gary

There will likely be some fix made, but this is a difficult problem to
*keep* fixed on Windows.

Thanks for the pointer. (Interestingly, I got a little confused by
following to the SourceForge bug pointers, because there's nothing on the
bug report page that clearly indicates the project. I guess they don't
expect people to get there by direct links.)

I just downloaded the new rpm's for Python2.3.2, from

For the past couple of months, Idle won't start when I invoke it. I
am at a complete loss for why this is. When this happens, they python
command line still starts, and python works fine otherwise.
Most interesting to me is that a reboot won't fix the problem. But if
I just try it again sometime later it will work. Anyone have any
ideas? I'm running python 2.3 on windows 2000 professional.

Hello. I downloaded and installed Windows Python-2.3.exe.
The install appears to be successful. There is a Start menu
item showing "Python 2.3" --> "IDLE (Python GUI)".
When I select this, nothing appears on my Windows 2000 screen.
However, if I look at the task manager, I see "pythonw.exe",
which I assume applies that the process is indeed running.
I expect some sort of GUI to open.

I have Python2.3 installed on a Win2K machine. If I start the python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Hi
probably an old problem, but maybe you can help me:
Just installed Python 2.3.4 on Windows XP SP1, and although the interpreter

Any ideas how to solve this?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
