EPT1) Do task 1
2) Task 2
...
0) Quit
etc
It didn't matter so much what my tasks did. It's more that I enjoyed the process of figuring out for myself what needs to be done.

Basically, I'm unable to run Python scripts. I create a text document, enter some code, rename it xxx.py, and associate all .py files with the interpreter, python.exe, as instructed. However, when I open/run the .py file, all I get is the empty python command line (aside from version info, etc), as you would get from simply running python.exe. Anyone? | ||

Why don't you just use Python's IDLE instead? All you have to do is press F5 to run your code. | ||

Do you by chance know what the .exe for the IDLE GUI is, so that I can set windows to open all .py files with it with a simple double click on the .py file? I can only find the shortcut to it, and it doesn't seem to direct to anything in the Properties. Likely there isn't one at all and I'm dumb, and if that's the case, is it possible to set the default program for .py files to that IDLE GUI at all? Thanks again. EDIT: Nevermind, found it. It's a well-hidden file named idle.pyw. EDIT 2: Actually, still can't tell .py files to open with IDLE. So as of right now the only way to run scripts is through a command in the command line/the IDLE interface (File --> Open). Anyone know how to convince Windows to open .py files into command line, IDLE, anything? | ||

That's what I've been doing, but I get an error message when I try to open with IDLE, something about the .py file "not being a valid Win32 application". When I try to open with python.exe in the same way, it just doesn't open the .py file and just starts an empty python command line. Getting either of these to work would be fine for me. | ||
