How to run IDLE in linux?

Expand Post »
Greetings to Everyone ,

I just would like to know how to run/launch/start the IDLE ide of python in linux? (In windows the IDLE ide comes part of the python download, I assume its the same for linux??! or not?!)

I currently have installed ubuntu linux, its already got python 2.4, and i can run the python interactive mode, but how do I run the IDLE ide?

I've tried running command/s at the shell - idle, idle-python2.4 but to no avail. Hopefully someone can enlighten me, pleeeaase!

Re: How to run IDLE in linux?

Hi!

You have to install idle first (via apt-get or synaptic) The dependency package is called idle, the current one idle-python2.4.

Re: How to run IDLE in linux?

There is a cheater way. You need to (this is very important):

cd into your idlelib directory
run: python PyShell.py

It raises an error if you havnt cd-d into idlelib
