I've taken a long break from Python, and now I want to try scripting
with 2.62. I downloaded and installed 2.62, changed Win XP
environmental variables to use Python26. Entering python at the
command line shows I'm using 2.62:
C:\Documents and Settings\Riley>python
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
So I'm able to try out the new features of 2.6 (I had been using
2.51), but I can't get IDLE to use 2.6. When I click on
E:\Python26\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw, I get an IDLE instance that says:
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
And of course, the new 2.6 features don't work.
Advice, please.
I suggest you have to change the association of *.pyw files to the
program, which is used to 'open' it.
In Windows explorer choose menu extras/directory options,
then choose tab file types and select PYW type
then press button 'advacned...' or somethng like this at the bottom
of the tab, chose 'open' and the button to change this.
If you see the entry
"C:\Python25\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*
change this to Python26
My translations from the German button captions to
English might not be correct. Hope this helps anyway.

Gregor

For future reference, assoc and ftype are commandline tools that let you
examine and modify those file associations. Very useful if you have to
go back and forth between two versions.
