I'm not Skippy, but I do have my wife's Toshiba Satellite running
Windows 7 Home Premium laying around. I figured that since I am fairly
well set to duplicate all the information you gave in your problem, I
would take a look. The bad news is that Python works great on it, so
your problem needs more troubleshooting.. I have IDLE open right now
with no issues. Python version: 3.1.1, Idle version: 3.1.1, Tk
version: 8.5.<br>
<br>
Have you tried launching Python from a command line in the directory
that you installed it to perhaps? Maybe it would spit out an error
message (or the interpreter might just work and maybe you have a Tk
problem... who knows).<br>
