[SOLVED] IDLE in Python 2.6.2 in Fedora 12

[Padder]

I used the Windows form of Python's IDLE for a long time and loved it, and now that i have fedora, I only can get into the command line interactive. I have TKinter and a bunch of packages for it, so I don't think thats the problem, I just cant get into idle. Help?

you need to install tk, yum install tk

[Padder]

you need to install tk, yum install tk

Already have it

Package 1:tk-8.5.7-3.fc12.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

[coopstah13]

can you post exact error message?

[Padder]

Actually, I get no error message, I just don't know how to open IDLE. But this is the error for the tk install

[root@Chris Chris]# yum install tk
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package 1:tk-8.5.7-3.fc12.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

the command to open it is just idle

idle brings up a standard code error message

no, execute command in terminal, not under python prompt

Well that sure makes a difference, can't believe I forgot to try that.
thanks a ton, gedit has nothing on IDLE
