[issue3943] IDLE won't start in 3.0rc1 "Subprocess didn't make connection...."

Amaury, I did as you suggested - running idle.py directly both from a
command line and by clicking on it and the results were the same. Each
time, I got the same error message window as before. In addition,
several seconds before the error window came up I got the following
traceback in the command window:

C:\Python30>python Lib/idlelib/idle.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python30\lib\idlelib\run.py", line 76, in main
    sockthread.set_daemon(True)
AttributeError: 'Thread' object has no attribute 'set_daemon'

I hope this helps.
...Bob
