Very unlikely. If python is told to execute a faulty script (or even arbitrary, non-python file), python would fail would fail with "SyntaxError" exception. > However when I try programs written for Python3 in Python3 > it first comes out with a pop up message "C:\python31\python.exe is not a > valid Win32 application". Your error message tells that either Python itself has crashed or Windows refuse to execute python.exe since it detected that python.exe is not a program. > When I click OK prompt on pop up message then on > dos box it states "Access is denied." I tried various types such as > python, python.exe and without these two also but same pop up message > comes out. Please advice. How did you install python? Did the installer or the machine crashed half-way through installation? Try reinstalling Python, make sure you download the correct installer. Can you start the interactive interpreter? Try starting just C:\Python26\python.exe (without script argument) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
