[New-bugs-announce] [issue41968] 3.9 IDLE documentation.

[Velson Horie]

New submission from Velson Horie <c.v.horie at gmail.com>:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/idle.html
I am trying to sort out why a new installation of 3.9 onto Win10 64bit fails to associate a .py file type with IDLE. {hint - there is no idle.exe. installed - Why?}. 2.7, 3.6 and 3.8 worked fine.
The documentation gives no indication of the source format of "IDLE", where it might be found, what it calls etc - only how it is used.
Some indication/link to the underlying software structure should be included in the documentation.
PS thank you for all the other work involved.
