python in emacs

[kentandkat]

When I visit a file with extension .py, emacs says "loading
python...done", and gives me a "python" menu with options like "start
interpreter" and "eval buffer". When I try to use one of these options
emacs says "loading compile...done", then hangs and has to be shut down
from the task manager. The Python folder is in my PATH variable and
works fine from the command line (or with IDLE). I'm using emacs-22.3 on
windows xp, and have the same problem with both python-2.2 and
python-3.0. Anybody got any tips, or should I just give up and use some
other editor?

Thanks,
Kent.

Did you try setting the python interpreter with the full path?
