I seem to have a problem with the install on XP SP1. Python itself is installed, but IDLE won't start. The error says: "IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection." I believe the problem is the firewall, but I'm not sure if it is related to the install. The previous install (Python 2.3) worked fine.
Did your firewall have an exception for Python 2.3, which doesn't apply to 2.4 (for example, it included the full path to the exempted executable)? Paul
