Re: Python IDLE

After you've fixed your file extension association problems as outlined in the previous answer, PLEASE do not use IDLE to do anything remotely close to editing. Go search for "Notepad++", download it and use it to always edit your Python files. To get the contents of the file into IDLE for testing, just import the module. The very thought of using IDLE to edit files gave me goosebumps.

Cheers!

For one thing, I don't know of anybody who uses IDLE as their editor for writing complex code like when developing a website with Django.

You can always type 'python manage.py runserver' instead of just 'manage.py runserver' to make sure python is the program that's opening your .py file.

It seems like you have a problem with your file associations. To fix this, go to the registry (Start Menu, Run, regedit) and browse to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\open\command

You should have a string there named '(Default') and its value should be exactly this (including quotes): "C:\Python26\python.exe" "%1" %*

You could have a different python path depending on your installation (say, C:\Program Files\Python27), but you get the gist. Don't forget the quotes and the trailing %*

I'm in a big mess now, I've lost my projects due to this errror. I'm
on windows, This is how I encounter the problem; I try to edit my
settings.py in IDLE. After right clicking on the files, I choose open
program with these default file. I choose idle window bat file, and I
clicked Ok. It didn't open, I try to run manage.py runserver on my
DOS. Not working, it will pop up the IDLE Shell and mange.py script by
displaying it in IDLE. It didn't run the server. The logo of my python
files have changed. How can I revert it back to open with IDLE? And
use it as default for my python script?
