First, you might check that in c:\Python31\Lib\site-packages you do
find these folders: FontTools, numpy, Polygon, ttfquery, vidle, vis,
visual, and the files FontTools.pth and three files ending in
py3.1.egg-info.

Then try this: Click on the round Windows icon, and in the box labeled
"Search programs and files" type "command prompt" to bring up a
typescript, or find this in Accessories on the start menu. Execute "cd
c:\Python31", and type python. You should find yourself in the Python
shell. Type "from visual import *" and report what happens. Or if
there is no complaint, try typing "box()" and see what happens.

Another thing you can do is from Python31 execute "cd
Lib\site-packages\vidle", then execute "c:\Python31\python idle.pyw"
and see whether you can start VIDLE that way.
