Question

I'm running 64 bit windows 7. I can run IDLE, but when I close it, it stays open in the 32 bit system processes - making me manually end the process using the windows task manager - before I can open IDLE again. Is there any way around this? I'm using the 2.5.6 version of Python

Answer 1

I couldn't find anything through a quick search, but since current production versions are Python 2.7.3 and Python 3.3.0 does it matter? Once you are done with the course/tutorial you are following you would most likely move to a current production version anyways.

Answer 2

@time_to_learn After we move to the latest version, how do we know the differrent ways the current version differs from the previous one ?

Answer 3

@MohitPepper just go to the Python website, they have all the answers there.

For example, http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/
Scrolling down you can see the changes, plus a link to changes
http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/3.3.html
as well as a schedule for future releases and changes
http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0398/#id1

So yeah, just head over to the python website and all of the stuff is there.
