after installing Python 2.3b2 under windows, the right
mouse button context
option in windows explorer 'edit with idle' on *.py
files ceased to work on two mashines (I upgraded from
python b1 to b2). One was Windows 2000 and one was
Windows XP.
Installation is default C:\python23 installation.

In c1 on win2k it works. However if there is an IDLE window
already open then the new editor window is frozen.
To repeat:
o Open IDLE
o Right click on a .py file
o Choose "Edit with IDLE"
The new IDLE editor window is frozen.

On Win2K I can't reproduce tebeka's problem with the 
instructions as given.  But I get a frozen window if I repeat 
the last two steps.

o Open IDLE
o Right click on a .py file
o Choose "Edit with IDLE"
o Right click on another .py file
o Choose "Edit with IDLE"

these seem to be fixed in Python 2.3c2. Can you confirm this
tebeka? So we can close this bug?

The original bug is fixed, but the other bug reported by 
tebeka in a comment has not been fixed.  It would help if 
tebeka opened a new bug report for that, so it's clearly 
identifed in the system as a distinct bug.

It's not fixed for me in rc2.
As Tim request see bug 778400.

The original bug was fixed (the Windows installer needed to 
change the path to IDLE stored in the menu shortcut), so 
closing this.

tebeka opened bug 778400 for the other issue (which isn't 
related to the original issue, apart from that they both use 
IDLE).
