[docs] Python won't open IDLE

[shangonichols at sbcglobal.net]

 I tried to open a file and nothing happened. If I tried to open a .py file (any .py file) from an existing instance of IDLE, it briefly flashed up a new window and then closed both the new window and the existing window (normally it opens the requested in a new window leaving the existing window untouched).

If I launch the Python GUI it opens a Python Shell fine. But as soon as I try to open a file (including a "new" file), it closes the Shell.

I rebooted the machine. Same problem.

I repaired the Python installation and rebooted. Same problem.

I uninstalled Python. Rebooted. Deleted the Python33 directory entirely. Rebooted. Installed Python. Rebooted. Same problem.

Everything else on the system appears to be working just fine.

Any ideas what the problem might be or how else I might go about fixing things?
