> It isn’t on my computer. Worked on 10.8.5, but haven’t been successful in getting Idle 2.7.6 working on two different Macs with 10.9.2. Can start python 2.7.6 in terminal window by typing python from the home directory. Entering idle at the home directory results in
> 
> python version 2.7.6 can’t run /usr/bin/idle. Try the alternative(s):
> /usr/bin/idle2.7 (uses python 2.7)
> 
> /usr/bin/idle2.7 exists in /usr/bin as does /usr/bin/idle
> 
> Idle 2.7.6 exists in the Applications folder, but does not execute when selected.
> 
> As an experiment, I downloaded Python 3.4. I can launch it from the version appropriate Idle file in the Applications folder. I was able to do this with Idle 2.7.6 in OS 10.8.5.
> 
> Just wondering if anyone has been able to run Idle 2.7.6 on OS 10.9.2 and, if not, how that might be accomplished.

> If I’ve sent this note to the wrong party, would you please let me know who it should be directed to?
