It's a hidden file. I tried deleting w/o success so changed the name.
The file was dated 5/??/2010.
I tried the usual method of right-click on junk.py to see if Edit with
IDLE would appear in the menu. It didn't, so I tried a right-click to
Choose default program to idle.pyw. Using it again gave me an invalid
32-bit message.
I am able to get a proper response at the command level by entering
pythonw.exe. >>> print "abc" works fine. I've forgotten how to get out
of >>>. I'm killing the command window.
