Robert Yodlowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Problem Solved. It was my firewall.
When I ran IDLE from the command line (the RIGHT way this time), in addition to the error messages and popup windows that I got before, I also got a popup window from my firewall asking if I was willing to grant Python access permission. I granted permission and, when I tried starting IDLE again, everything worked just fine. Thank you, Amaury and Martin, for your help and your patience with me. ...Bob _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4042> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
