How do I keep dll files from closing when I try to open them up with programming software such as Python?

I've been trying my hand at some programming lately, but when I try to open up dll files and edit them in my Python IDLE it pops up for a second and then closes almost immediately. How do I prevent these files from closing? Any advice would be appreciated.How do I keep dll files from closing when I try to open them up with programming software such as Python?
OK, you NEVER EVER edit a DLL file unless it was you who originally made it, and in that case you should be editing the source code as appose to the dll.


dll's are used so that multiple programs can run the same functions without needed to write the same code, you generally link to the dll, not add it to your program.


Not sure how this is done in Python you would need to look into it, but opening up the dll files is not the right way to go.How do I keep dll files from closing when I try to open them up with programming software such as Python?
A dll will execute in a similar manner to an exe.


When you double click on the file, it will run.


If the dll is just supposed to do some process, instead of display something to the user, there will be nothing to see.





If you want to see the source code, right click on the icon, and press 'edit'. It should open in notepad (if it was written in a text language) so you can view it.
