IDLE от Python, запакованный в .exe

"Hack" for opening .py files by double-clicking.

By default .py files have an association with pythonw.exe, that makes it impossible to edit files of this format via IDLE without having to use right-click --> Edit with IDLE. Below is a "solution" that corrects this behavior.

Solution:

  • In the directory with Python installed, you need to find the directory \Lib\idlelib, which contains the file idle.bat. In it, you need to replace CurrentDir with direct paths to **pythonw.exe ** and idle.pyw (1st - in the folder \Lib, 2nd - in \Lib\idlelib).

To convert .bat to .exe, you can use the program from Tokyoneon. The icon can be taken from \Lib\idlelib\Icons. Using the above utility, we convert the edited idle.bat in idle.exe

Usage:

  • After creating the .exe file, save it in a convenient place and create a new association of .py files with this .exe (via "Open with" menu)
