64-bit Vista
Python 2.6 for IPython 0.10
I also have Python 2.7 and 3.1
I'd like to use the version of IDLE that comes with Python 2.6.
However, if I have the line
ipy_editors.idle()
in my ipy_user_conf.py,
And enter edit,
What opens is the IDLE for Python 3.1.
So, in imitation of this line in ipy_user_conf.py:
#ipy_editors.scite('c:/opt/scite/scite.exe') ,
I swapped out the above line for
ipy_editors.idle("c:/Python26/Lib/idlelib/idle.pyw")
and now when I enter
ed fact.py, or just ed , (fact.py is a script of mine that I
copied to C:Python26/Scripts)
the IDLE for Python 3.1 opens, all set to edit the SCRIPT
c:/Python26/Lib/idlelib/idle.pyw !
What's going on here? What do I have to do to use the Python 2.6
version of IDLE with IPython?
BTW entering run fact.py at the IPython prompt runs fact.py just fine.
Thanks,
Dick Moores
