Are toy recommending to invoke IDLE from there or from windows command line? Sorry I'm not to up on Python is there a command that would run IDLE from command? If I run idle.py -c -d I get idle is not defined. Thanks SD

I'm sure it does. That's not what I asked you. > Are toy recommending to invoke IDLE from there or from windows command > line? No, I'm asking you -- or rather your admin user -- to invoke the program that is giving you grief from the command line, i.e. "python myscript.py", and tell me what happens. "It doesn't work" won't be considered at all helpful; without details we might as well just print out your script, throw darts at it, and tell you the problem is where the darts land. The rest of your answer however suggests that I've fundamentally misunderstood what you've said. Please tell me *exactly* what happens when it doesn't "run fine" for your admin user. -- Rhodri James *-* Wildebeest Herder to the Masses

If it recurs, please actually answer questions when we ask them, otherwise we really might as well not bother. -- Rhodri James *-* Wildebeest Herder to the Masses |
