I'm glad someone sent this out... I was having this EXACT problem today<br><br>I've got it installed on my wife's computer and I'm certain that it worked when I first installed 3.0a but it stopped working (I didn't update Python but my wife has done several Vista security updates)... Hopefully, that will help in the bug tracking for this.<br>

Apparently, if you install Python into a localized<br>
version of \Program Files on Vista (such as \Programas,<br>
or \Programmer), IDLE fails to start; see<br>
<a href="http://bugs.python.org/3881" target="_blank">http://bugs.python.org/3881</a><br>
<br>
Apparently, Tcl cannot properly initialize on such a system,<br>
and apparently, this is related to these folders being<br>
symlinks.<br>
<br>
It would be good if anybody who has access to such a system<br>
can diagnose what the specific problem is, how to reproduce<br>
it on a system that has the English version of Vista<br>
installed, and preferably, how to solve the problem.<br>
<br>
