EditWithIdleX.py keeps failing due to 3 errors

[TheBurntLight]

Here are the errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python37\Scripts\EditWithIdleX.py", line 194, in
build_gui()
File "C:\Python37\Scripts\EditWithIdleX.py", line 162, in build_gui
"Python found at: %r" % get_python_executable(),
File "C:\Python37\Scripts\EditWithIdleX.py", line 65, in get_python_executable
p = W.OpenKey(reg, r'Python.File\shell\Edit with IDLE\command')
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Currently Using Python 3.7.2

Maybe it would be better to use sys.executable (Python 2 docs) (Python 3 docs) to find the path to the Python interpreter?
Looks like there can be several editwithidle commands in the registry depending on which Python versions have been installed, so I think this should be a lot more straightforward.

Only one version has been installed

What the previous comment was suggesting something like simply replace the get_python_executable() function with sys.executable and it should work.

This works: I replaced get_python_executable() by the standrd string to get this path i.e., sys.executable
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html

line 95: path_to_python = sys.executable #get_python_executable()
line 162: "Python found at: %r" % sys.executable, #get_python_executable()

then launch again the script. --> feb 2021, windows 10 up-to-date, python3.9.2 amd64 (evenif no python2.7 installed in parallel which may cause some mess).

in the EditWIthIdleX.py remplace the p = W.OpenKey(reg, r'Python.File\shell\Edit with IDLE\command') by
p = W.OpenKey(reg, r'Python.File\shell\editwithidle\shell\edit310\command') that will solve your problem

This worked for me after changing edit310 to edit311
Currently using Python 3.11.2
