title: Opening Python IDE on Desktop
body: <p>I am trying to open the python IDE with a specific program open on my desktop (in the shell so that I can edit it).  The code I am using is:</p>
  
  <pre><code> os.system("C:\Python27\lib\idlelib\idle.py C:/Python27/lib/file_name.py")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Its working, but its opening three things:</p>
  
  <ol>
  
  <li> A command line (without the actual command line)
  <li> An empty IDE
  <li> The program I was trying to open
  
  </ol>
  
  <p>I dont want the previous two things to open, just the third.  Whats going on, how do I fix it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Neil</p>
