https://docs.python.org/3/library/idle.html I am trying to sort out why a new installation of 3.9 onto Win10 64bit fails to associate a .py file type with IDLE. {hint - there is no idle.exe. installed - Why?}. 2.7, 3.6 and 3.8 worked fine. The documentation gives no indication of the source format of "IDLE", where it might be found, what it calls etc - only how it is used. Some indication/link to the underlying software structure should be included in the documentation. PS thank you for all the other work involved.
