Hi Jacob,

instead look at IDLE.
You might be running into the same kind of issue that Mike Hansen was
running into just a few days ago:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2004-December/033672.html
We were able to diagnose the problem by doing this:

Can you try the same procedure? Even if it doesn't work, the information
that Python responses with should give us a better idea of what is going
on. Try opening up a regular console version of Python, and see what
happens when you do:
###
>>> import idlelib.PyShell
>>> idlelib.PyShell.main()
###
Good luck to you!
