“Edit with IDLE” option missing from context menu

Question

I have Python 2.7.5 that installed with ArcGIS 10.2.2. When I first right-clicked a .py script I\'d previously written it listed the \"Edit with IDLE\" option in the contex

Answer 1

I followed Teodorico Levoff's directions above, as well as Abyx's from the following page: https://superuser.com/questions/280636/trying-to-edit-a-python-file-but-the-edit-with-idle-has-disappeared-when-i-rig

However, it only works partially. When I right-click on a .py file, no 'Edit with IDLE' shows up. Choosing 'Edit' opens the file with IDLE. Also, the python icon is not associated with .py files. I decide to associate it with Notepad, then associate it with Python again. That works the magic. The icon is back, and so is the 'Edit with IDLE' option. Hope it helps.
