- +1, thank you for this. Just a note: DON'T install Python under Program Files because of the space in the pathname! Virtualenv was failing for me, and re-installing Python under C:\ (default) fixed it.Sabuncu– Sabuncu2012-05-04 15:41:32 +00:00Commented May 4, 2012 at 15:41
- I could not get the idle.bat file to work on my Python 2.7 system, even after creating the symbolic folder links. I initially created them under Lib, and idle.bat launch failed. Then I created a folder called tcl under the virtual environment, and created the symbolic folder links there, and it still produced an error:Traceback (most recent call last): "... _tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: {C:\Users\AMS\my_env\tcl\tcl8.5} C:/Python27/lib/tcl8.5 C:/Users/AMS/my_env/lib/tcl8.5 ... This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly." Any ideas?Sabuncu– Sabuncu2012-05-04 15:56:42 +00:00Commented May 4, 2012 at 15:56
- OK, copying the two folders as Tim has pointed out below (instead of symbolic links) fixed the problem, and I can launch IDLE through idle.bat.Sabuncu– Sabuncu2012-05-04 16:00:25 +00:00Commented May 4, 2012 at 16:00

print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
