I have installed Python 2.7 (Windwos 7). However, I am unable to load the GUI. I get no response when I try to open. I re-installed it but again the same problem. What might be the solution?
Right-click the ". idlerc" folder and select Properties. Uncheck the "Hidden" attribute if it's active and apply the new settings. Test the change by editing a script tool or opening Python IDLE again.
You can also open IDLE directly from your Python script file. Right click the file, then choose "Edit with IDLE". Rather than going through the "Run..." menu, learn to use F5 (on some systems, Fn + F5) to run your script.
The Python IDLE (Integrated DeveLopment Environment) editor is a graphical user interface for Python development. This GUI is free and installed automatically during the Python installation. It enables you to edit, run, and debug Python programs in a simple GUI environment.
If you have python in the default installation path, try in the windows shell:
C:\Python27\pythonw C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw
or change the path accordingly. This should work even if you have other conflicting pythons in your installation or paths are not set.
