To get a fix for Idle not running programs on Windows 2000 when Python is installed in Program Files, go to the Windows download page at http://cil.andrew.cmu.edu/projects/visual and download and install the latest version of Idle (Idle-2001-09-24.zip). The bug turned out to be in Python21\Tools\idle_VPython\spawn.py, where a path name had to be enclosed in quotes to take care of possible DOS versions of directory names containing spaces (such as Program Files). This fix is also included in a new full VPython installer. Bruce Sherwood |
