| I have been using IDLE on my previous laptop and it was working well although I have to say I'm still very new to python. I've read around about the issue and can't find any solution I can use. I can run the IDLE GUI through the python command line version by saying "import idle" but it generates a bunch of error lines (copied the command prompt): >>> import idle Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "c:\python31\lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 11, in idlelib.PyShell.main() File "c:\python31\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1388, in main shell = flist.open_shell() File "c:\python31\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 277, in open_shell self.pyshell = PyShell(self) File "c:\python31\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 813, in __init__ OutputWindow.__init__(self, flist, None, None) File "c:\python31\lib\idlelib\OutputWindow.py", line 16, in __init__ EditorWindow.__init__(self, *args) File "c:\python31\lib\idlelib\EditorWindow.py", line 261, in __init__ self.update_recent_files_list() File "c:\python31\lib\idlelib\EditorWindow.py", line 779, in update_recent_fil es_list rf_file = open(self.recent_files_path, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\\\.idle rc\\recent-files.lst' I have tried to use Explorer to reach the files and I get a permission error (the same occurs when trying to reach with the command prompt). I have tried to change the read only nature of this folder and it automatically reverts after the attribute is set. Also the folder is empty according to explorer. I have tried running it with my firewall disabled. I am running 32bit XP on a lenovo T510 with 3.1.2 python installed Thanks in advance! |

| Also the IDLE that I do manage to get open really doesn't work correctly, more errors appear on the command line console as I try to do things like close the IDLE window. So that doesn't serve as a useful tool either |

| I can clear the attributes from the properties window of the folder but if I remove them both it will automatically reset it back to Read Only every time i close the properties window. I can get it to be hidden but I can't make it permanently available. |

It's alright that you can't clear it - Windows doesn't support that, and it's not a problem at all. I'm talking about the "hidden" attribute. |

| > Ok. Remove the entire .idlerc folder, then. Before doing that (if you still can) try something else. Go *into* the .idlerc folder, and remove the hidden flag from all individual files. |

| Upon trying to delete I'm prompted with an error: Access is denied. Make sure the disc is not full or write-protected and that the file is currently not in use. My disc isn't full and I cannot find anything accessing it (and the folder is empty so...) Is there a way around this? |

| The folder is not empty. Configure Explorer so that it displays hidden files. |

| Sorry but I still cannot get it to work because the folder remains inaccessible to me and immutable. Is there any way around this problem? |

| I solved the problem myself by editing the EditorWindow.py file where it sets self.recent_files_path by setting it to a different file location (I created a file in my Python31 directory named recent-files.lst and then set the recent_files_path to the absolute path to this file I made). This seems to be working so far and works like a complete work around the .idlerc folder issue. Will report if this doesn't work out later |

| Had this issue.. figured out what's causing it... definitively. I had an earlier version of python installed, and I created a pythonhome user variable: "c:\python24." I'm now using Python 2.5, and that old variable was: 1.) Keeping me from opening the IDLE 2.) Keeping the console from finding the os module. This is also the source of the import os error. TO FIX: - modify the pythonhome variable to your current version, or.. remove it. -Dmark www.dmarkphotography.com |
