Hello, I am new to programming... I installed Python a couple days ago with no problems. I used it quite a bit since I'm going through loads of tutorials. All of a sudden, it shut off, closed and will no longer open. This problem seems to be common, but none of the suggestions work. I uninstalled it and re-installed it to no avail. The command line works however. Suggestions? | |||

Can you start it from a command prompt (cmd.exe): > cd c:\python26 > python Lib\idlelib\idle.py The console may display interesting error messages. | |||

It didn't work. "cd c:\python26" successfully prompted "C:\Python26>", But then entering "python Lib\idlelib\idle.py" did not work, the message is too long to enter in this reply but here are some of the lines in the body: "Unhandled server exception! Thread: SockThread" [...] "ImportError: cannot import name Random *** Unrecoverable, server existing!" [...] "EOFError" I hope this helps, I have no clue what to do... | |||

I would like to see the complete list of messages. Looks like a broken python installation... | |||

I basically have been running IDLE without the subprocess. (In C:\Python24\Lib\idlelib\PyShell.py and at line 1272 change use_subprocess = True to use_subprocess = False Save PyShell.py, restart IDLE, and you will see a message in the shell window that IDLE is now running without the subprocess.) It has been running fine since. | |||

Couple of comments. First, your messages seem to indicate that you have both Python24 and Python26 installed. Although that shouldn't cause problems, it might in your case. If you are no longer using Python24, please uninstall it. First, open your Windows task manager and kill off any stale python processes. If IDLE won't start with the subprocess, that's usually the problem. Set IDLE to work with the subprocess, and try to reproduce your error. If it's still there, kill off any resulting stale python processes. Then, I'd really like to see the full error message if possible. Open a Windows Command shell, and run this: set >> test.log c:\Python26\python -m idlelib.idle >> test.log 2>&1 Then reproduce the error, exit, and upload test.log to this tracker. IDLE works much better if you use the subprocess! | |||
