My Problem, Read the post about the Italian guy. I got the same problem off or on the net. I am a newbie and this has got my self study at a dead stop.
This problem comes and goes. It says IDLE sub process error:connection refused,,,, Sometimes this shuts down all of Python, sometimes not. I have noticed that a small program will work fine, or intermittently. Or a big program launches the shell and just hangs up Restart >>>, no socket errors some time. The task manager shows shell running, and process has two pythonw.exe Turning off the firewall does nothing. I am scanning the registry now, found nothing. I have noticed it lakes longer to open IDLE up from scratch. Lately there is some improvement if I have only one GUI open at a time, faster opening and no sub process error message, sometimes. I have tried uninstalling, repairing, nothing helps. Please help. I don't want to give up on python. If I need to do a dual boot and add Linux so be it.
