What experience have others had with Idle and Windows 8?
The OP for
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28633690/python-installation-troubleshooting
wrote in a comment "I am invoking it from a win8 startmenu program, so I
tried to do it via the normal windows 8 interface and it works from there,"
I do not know what 'normal windows 8 interface' means, but does it work
for anyone else?

pythonw.exe should appear *twice* in task manager.
Please try 3.4.3rc1 and 3.5.0a1

If the Idle does not start correctly on Win 8, perhaps we could fix it
before 3.4.3 final (which should be soon).
