Hi All, Newbie, trying to learn Python. os is Windows Vista, 32-bit
machine. Used Installer pkg from helloworldbook.com
includes Python 2.5.1, Tk 8.4 and IDLE v 1.2.1 (and other stuff).
Trying to launch IDLE from Start Menu icon. Socket error: permission
denied. IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't
start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection.
Trying to start IDLE from cmd line:
c:\Python25\python.exe c:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py (or
c:\Python25\pythonw.exe c:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw)
gets:
IDLE Subprocess: socket error: Permission denied, retrying....
IDLE Subprocess: socket error: Permission denied, retrying....
IDLE Subprocess: socket error: Permission denied, retrying....
IDLE Subprocess: Connection to IDLE GUI failed, exiting.
Traceback (most recent call last):
** IDLE Internal Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\run.py", line 82, in main
exit()
File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\run.py", line 208, in exit
del sys.exitfunc
AttributError: exitfunc
Traceback (most recent call last):

exit()
File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\run.py", line 208, in exit
del sys.exitfunc
AttributeError: exitfunc
Tried to run with firewall turned off. Same problem. Tried to run as
Admin of computer, same problem.
At cmd line, ping localhost gets 127.0.0.1 ok. Is problem Vista
permissions?, RPC (on Automatic) or RPC locator (set to Manual),
firewall?, typo in code? I see other people manage to use this
downloaded package. Kindly suggestions for frustrated newbie please.
Thanks, Deb.
