Re: Python Isn't working

Pythons normally don't come with a handle, this must be a new breed.

Re: Python Isn't working

Handle? Like its throwing an exception? You honestly make no sense.

Re: Python Isn't working

Did you use the .msi binary installer to install Python?

How are you trying to open python.exe?

Normally you find the IDE called Idle.pyw somewhere in the Python folders (like C:\Python31\Lib\idlelib) and double click on it to get going. Doing any programming out of the Python shell directly is f****cking ugly!

Re: Python Isn't working

Use IDLE, Notepad++, ulipad, or editor/IDE of your choice.
Using Commandline is poorest idea. Anyway if you still wish to do that, Add Python path to your system path and type on console:
python

There you are!
