Stories similar to Help with Python IDLE

Gentlemen,

A very basic question here. I am trying to set up a Python development environment to learn the language. I have Python 2.7.3 running on Linux mint14. I downloaded IDLE and installed it too, as I need a tabbing editor, and syntax highlighting won't hurt. Clean installs and Python runs just fine. I am past "Hello World!".

So how do I invoke IDLE?

Python 2.7.3 33 weeks 2 days ago

I'm looking at installing Python 2.7.3 to use with Idle in #! Has anyone had success at this? I don't want to screw up the current Python install.

OS version:Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Hey all, I recently started programming in python, so I went to download python 3.0, and it appears I have ruined all python files on my installation, whenever I try to run anything with python I get this error:

chris@chris-Modena-M101:~$ python bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory chris@chris-Modena-M101:~$

I tried to install Python 3 again it said it

I have been looking for a Python 3.x IDE in the Ubuntu and Debian repositories and can't seem to find one (other than IDLE, which I consider to be more of a 'decorated editor' than a true IDE).

I am trying to install Python 3.2 and mod_wsgi on my web server, but I am not having much luck.

Idle3 2 years 23 weeks ago

When trying to perform a~ viaurl@crunchbang:~$ idle3I get a~** IDLE can't import Tkinter.  Your Python may not be configured for Tk. ** I installed TCL/TK and recompilied python afterwards and still nothing, anyone got any clues?

I need newer Python so I downloaded .tar.gz from the site, unpacked, run ./configure; make; make altinstall. I had then separate Python 2.7 and default 2.5 and all worked fine.

But recently I needed to recompile Python with new libraries and instead of make altinstall I run make install. That replaced CentOS Python 2.5 with 2.7.
