Hi Danny, I was following some of your suggestions in making my IDLE work in Windows XP laptop. (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2005-January/034683.html).
First, i changed the IDLE shortcut path: from C:\Python24\python.exe TO C:\Python24\python.exe "C:\Python24\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw" -n Now Idle works but throws up a lot of warning etc. in a seperate black window. ################# Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background' from theme 'sp'. returning default value: '#ffffff' Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict - problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground' from theme 'sp'. returning default value: '#000000' The same content apparently repeatedly printed for 5 times i guess in the same black window. ########################### When I close that window the whole IDLE disappears. Is this the correct way or are there some modifications incorporated now. Looking forward to your input __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.
