In that case, you need to change the file association of .py
files to IDLE <br>

Yeah, I tried that. The worst part is we don't have any exe
file specifically for IDLE. I mean windows has to choose
whether to edit or compile.<br>
<br>
<br>
In my case, the file associated with my .py files is
python.exe (c:/python27/python.exe). I still don't understand
why its not opening in IDLE. <br>

Try right-clicking the file. You will should geta "context menu"<br>
<br>
Do you see Edit with IDLE? If so, choose that.<br>
<br>
Also take a look at the Advanced settings for the file type .py On
my windows 2003 server in the Explorer I click Tools -> Folder
Options -> File Types, select .py then click Advanced. Here I see<br>
Edit with IDLE<br>
I select that and click Edit and see<br>
"D:\Python27\pythonw.exe" "D:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw" -e "%1"<br>
in your case that should read<br>
"C:\Python27\pythonw.exe" "C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw" -e "%1"<br>
If you don't have an Edit with IDLE entry, click New and add one.<br>
If you want that to be the double-click behavior click Set Default.<br>
<br>
If your OS is different the route to the file associations may be
different.<br>
