Subject: [Idle-dev]  Idle with Python25 'AND' Python30
Message-ID: <15357220.post@talk.nabble.com>


How can Idle be run with Python25 and also be able to run with Python30??

What command line parameters, or in a batch file, can be used to specify
that Idle that came with 2.5 can be run with Python25 and the Idle that came
with 3.0 can run with Python30?

With PyScripter I was able to do this:
C:\"Program Files"\PyScripterv1.9.9.1\PyScripter.exe
--pythondllpath=C:\Python30

After several hours of tinkering I was unable to get Idle to run with
Python25.
I tried this and many others:
C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py pythondllpath=C:\Python25

The python path has been removed from the OS path.
python25.dll and python30.dll are in system32 folder.
python25.dll is in the Python25 folder
python30.dll is in the Python30 folder

I have many 2.5 programs and am now switching to 3.0.

I would appreciate help to be able to use Idle with both.

Try this: (works for any Python script)
C:\Python25\python.exe C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py

Or the shorter and simpler: (works only with modules)
C:\Python25\python.exe -m idlelib.idle
