This probably made 2.7 the default Python.

So this is normal.

The uninstallation process probably removed the context menu.  If the 2.7 entry overrode the 3.2 one, once it's remove there are no entries left.

> I tried to open it over "Open with..." with other applications.

If the installation process adds the "Open with IDLE" entry, it should do it again when you reinstall -- unless something got corrupted somehow during when 2.7 got installed on removed.
