Doesn't IDLE come with Python2.4??? Its pretty good if you haven't tried it ;-)
If you haven't searched for it yet, try looking in
C:\Python24\lib\idlelib for "idle.py".
To start it simply do "python idle.py" in the prompt. You should also
probably have a batch script named idle.bat which wraps the idle.py.

I have no clue what the *tools* are doing for you and i feel sorry for
that but as i said if you try IDLE its pretty good.
the link http://www.python.org/idle/ should be able to provide you with info.
