[issue6941] Socket error when launching IDLE
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: Download and install a current release 2.6.6, 2.7, or 3.1.2 (or 2.7.1 or 3.1.3 in a week or so). Disable or otherwise reconfigure whatever firewall or security software you have that is blocking the socket connection (as your screenshot says). If you still have a problem, ask on python-list and give the info needed for people to help (hardware, os and version, python version, security/firewall software). The bug tracker is for solving problems with Python, not with user machines. Note that 2.6.6 and 3.1.3 are the last bugfix releases for their respective versions. -- nosy: +terry.reedy resolution: - works for me status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6941 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Kurt B. Kaiser k...@shore.net added the comment: 08jpurcell unresponsive, ignoring for now (but see suggestions below) bdouglasoz: had a firewall blocking the subprocess, apparently works for her now. I'd point out that Notepad is just an editor, IDLE gives you much more. Linux is great, but IDLE works fine with Windows XP and since most people use Windows, we have to be sure that it does! adgprogramming: first, bring up your task manager and make sure there are no python processes running. 2.6.x subprocesses can get stuck. Then make sure that your firewall isn't blocking socket access to localhost. Then restart IDLE. IDLE 3.1.1 may work for you since it has the recent enhancement that allows multiple copies of IDLE to run simultaneously, but it still needs interprocess access via sockets. -- nosy: +kbk priority: - normal resolution: - works for me status: open - pending ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6941 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

adgprogramming knd_a...@yahoo.com added the comment: Here is what happened to me. See the attachment. P.S.: I launched the installer and hit repair. Everything went fine in the installer, but the problem still occured. Should I upgrade to 3.11? If I have to make a change in the source code for IDLE, I am fine with that, I am an experienced programmer. I just need instructions. Please help! -- nosy: +adgprogramming Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15118/idleerror.bmp ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6941 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Bonnie Douglas bonnie.doug...@biarri.com added the comment: The only other thing that I've done is change my firewall software. I use Bullguard. I had to use the Custom Security settings for the Firewall, but set it to always allow pythonw.exe and python.exe access to all ports. A colleague of mine is also running XP and ditched IDLE because it kept crashing. I explained my reconfiguration of the firewall to him yesterday but he hasn't implemented my changes yet so I can't report his success/failure. Notepad++ is a great editor to use with Python; it is Python-aware (and it's free). Another colleague uses it along with print in his code for debugging. Finally, our computer scientist recommends using Linux only. Apparently that solves all problems? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6941 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue6941] Socket error when launching IDLE
Bonnie Douglas bonnie.doug...@biarri.com added the comment: I too seem to have experienced this same problem. I am running Windows Vista. After choosing to shut down my computer and restart without cleanly shutting down IDLE I got a socket error - socket error:connection refused when I next tried to launch IDLE. After pressing OK I got another message: IDLE's subprocess didn't make a connection. Either IDLE can't start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection After a search through the web I simply ran the python-6.2.3.msi file again and chose to repair Python 2.6.3 - this has solved the problem. Hope this helps. -- nosy: +bdouglasoz status: pending - open ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6941 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
