I've just installed the latest python on windows 8.1 x64 version and it does not start. The console version works

I tried both 2.7 and 3.5 versions and none of them works

The purpose of pythonw is to run GUI scripts without having a console.  How are you trying to run it, what do you expect to happen and what actually happens?  I'm assuming that you mean 3.4 as 3.5 hasn't been released yet.

I had the same problem. I assume that you are using IDLE. Hopefully it works.

Sorry! I launched pythonw without ascript. I found idle and it works.

I'm going to close this, then.  If you think there's a documentation issue we can reopen it.

I don't know if it is a documentation error for I've not read it yet.
Maybe the best way is to put a shortcut to idle in the main directory where the python is.
