[New-bugs-announce] [issue8723] IDLE won't start import os error

[James Morgan]

New submission from James Morgan <jmorg1989 at gmail.com>:

Hi,

For some reason I have recently lost the ability to open IDLE for python 2.6.2.

I was able to open it for 2.5 without issue. I reinstalled 2.6.2 several times, removed 2.5, tried 2.6.5 instead, still cannot load IDLE. I can load the python command prompt however.

When attempting to run idle through cmd.exe I get an error in line 3 of pyshell.py

"import os
ImportError: No module named os"

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
