running IDLE from another program?

[BartlebyScrivener]

John,

If your file has the .py or .pyc extension on it, it should just run at
the command line from its own directory, assuming your environment and
path variables are set correctly.

I use NoteTab which has a different way of doing it, but basically you
should be able to run:

c:\mydir>script.py

You don't need the python.exe on the commandline.
