Running Idlex 1.13 on Python 3.6.1

I wanted to get horizontal scrolling for the Python IDLE, and that led me to downloading idlex 1.13. Unzipping it went fine, but I wasn't able to run idlex.py

Every time I try, I get a message like this:

Unable to located "idlexlib".
Make sure it is located in the same directory as "idlexlib" or run setup.py
to install IdleX.

python setup.py install --user

I'm not sure if 1.13 just doesn't work on Python 3.6.1, or if I'm missing something like folder placement or if I should be running a different file.

I am using Windows 10 on a 64-bit operating system.

It turns out that Idlex is not compatible with Python 3.6.0 and Python 3.6.1. It is, however, compatible with Python 3.5.3 32-bit and before. I had the same issue, until I found another post on StackOverflow: Idlex 1.13 : Unable to located "idlexlib"
