Finding IDLE in Python 3

I am running python 3.3.5. I can't figure out how to launch the IDLE IDE. I installed everything correctly but the IDLE doesn't appear anywhere.

You will find an idle.py file at C:\Python33\Lib\idlelib.

There are 2 idle.pys file and both of them work. The first opens a command prompt alongside idle and the other doesn't.

To start it from the command line in Python 3.3+:

$ python3 -midlelib

Or in the code:

import idlelib.PyShell
idlelib.PyShell.main()
