===Preliminaries===
I wrote a new app (Crunchy Frog) which is meant to transform "boring" traditional python tutorial into truly interactive experiences. It is still at an alpha stage but is promising imo; for those interested, you can find it at:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=125834
It currently requires both CherryPy and Elementtree as additional packages.
Starting the app launch your favourite browser (or open a new tab/window). This is done through the instruction:
cherrypy.server.start_with_callback(webbrowser.open, ('http://localhost:8080',),)
===Now the question===
Someone on edu-sig tried to get it working on her computer running Windows XP home edition (just like mine, where it works fine!). However, she gets an error message about
" port 8080 not free on local host." This is after she made sure nothing else internet-related was working. [This kind of message can happen if another instance of Crunchy Frog is already running, which she made sure wasn't.]
I am stumped....
I am thinking it might be a firewall issue (I have ZoneAlarm installed myself), but I am really not sure.... I thought there were enough smart and friendly people here that I could find an answer ;-)

Thanks in advance for any help, pointers, etc. Of course, you can reply directly on the edu-sig list if you want!
