RE: My IDLE editor wont work!Hi Facundo!
This is the error I get:

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly."

  # hi, I have a problem on my comp - I'm using win2000, and the IDLE editor won't open when I try to execute it. 
  # I tried to uninstall the python versions(yes I had one older installed also) and reinstalled 2.3.4. That doesn't help.

  Execute it from the command line, to see the errors, and tell us.
