uses localhost (a loopback port 127.0.0.1) to communicate with running scripts
(so interrupt keys and debugging calls get passed etc.) It's a nice cross
platform method of interprocess communication.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

IDLE<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hello list, <BR><BR>I just got a Windows box up and
running. When I go to use IDLE I get an error saying something along the lines
of, "IDLE was unable to start you may need to shut off the firewall". Now when
I shut the firewall off it starts up fine. So my question is, does IDLE try to
access a port? if so, what port? I would like to be able to make rule so that
I can keep the firewall running and have no problem starting
IDLE.<BR><BR>Thank you in advance,<BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Daniel
