Revision history [back]

Hi all,

In my previous job I had a Windows XP x86 machine, upon installation of PSS/E + Python, I had IDLE as an option when right clicking PY files;

Now I got a new job/computer and a 64-bit version of Windows 7, when I right click any PY file, IDLE doesn't appear as an option. I have tried of course associating it; but it doesn't work, I receive an error message. I have figured out that IDLE is launched by a file called "idle.py" in one of the Python folders, but if I try to associate the PY extension with it, there is an error message.

I have already spent HOURS on the phone with the Company's IT support accessing my machine remotely, the guys couldn't figure out how to do it, and told me it's impossible.

BUT...of course it is very possible, as in my previous job it worked fine in a XP x86 machine.

Please, does anyone know how to fix it ?

Thanks,

Andre
