[New-bugs-announce] [issue46594] Windows "Edit with IDLE >" only has one selection

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

I have Python and hence IDLE 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11 installed.  When I right click a .py file, and then on "Edit with IDLE >" the sub-menu only has '3.11.0a4' listed.  This negates the purpose of having a submenu.

I did some search of previous issues and see a) that I have had more than one version listed before, but b) there have been previous issues with some missing.  I don't know if #27603 has any relevance.

I discovered this when investigating the report at
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70931009/cant-open-py-files-in-idle-on-desktop-with-python-3-10-2
For that, clicking on the submenu worked for 3.9 but not after upgrading to 3.10. Clicking for me opened the file, but there was only one choice.
