Windows 7 : any problems installing or running Python ?

[Lewis Cawthorne]

I'm not Skippy, but I do have my wife's Toshiba Satellite running 
Windows 7 Home Premium laying around.  I figured that since I am fairly 
well set to duplicate all the information you gave in your problem, I 
would take a look.  The bad news is that Python works great on it, so 
your problem needs more troubleshooting..  I have IDLE open right now 
with no issues.  Python version: 3.1.1, Idle version: 3.1.1, Tk version: 
8.5.

Have you tried launching Python from a command line in the directory 
that you installed it to perhaps?  Maybe it would spit out an error 
message (or the interpreter might just work and maybe you have a Tk 
problem...  who knows).
