I am trying to do like this answer to the "same" question. But doesn't work.

How can I open Python3.3 IDLE from command line on windows?

  • There seems to be no reason for this not to be an edit + answer combination to the original question, explaining what's insufficient about the accepted answer. For that reason I'm closing as duplicate. – Veedrac Jun 09 '14 at 18:22
  • @Veedrac I thought that it could be python 3 specific and therefore a maybe a separate question, while writing the question I found the answer, so I posted it. But I will post there an answer. – llrs Jun 09 '14 at 19:33
  • Thank you. If you strongly disagree with my verdict, you can always discuss on [Meta]. – Veedrac Jun 09 '14 at 22:13

You need to do as stated in the main.py file of the idelib folder (C:\Python33\Lib\idlelib)

IDLE main entry point

Run IDLE as python -m idlelib

So with python -m idlelib <script_to_edit> you will be able to open and edit the script with idle. I haven't checked with previous versions but it could have the same usage.
