[issue19584] IDLE fails - Python V2.7.6 - 64b on Win7 64b

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Report like this should initially go to python-list as the problem is probably idiosyncratic to your machine. I have a similar setup, just installed 2.7.6, and Idle seems to work fine.

Open a Windows console (AllPrograms/Accessories/CommandPrompt), cd to your 2.7 director, and try to start idle as below

C:\Users\Terry>cd /programs/python27
C:\Programs\Python27>python -m idlelib.idle

You should see an error message. Perhaps about tkinter. If so, try re-installing and make sure that tcl/tk are checked to be installed.
