[Edu-sig] Problem with Python in Windows

[JACKIE MASLOFF]

Yesterday I was running the Windows version of the Python 2.7.3 shell with
IDLE as my editor. I saved a file and ran it and got some error message
which unfortunately I don't remember. I then closed Python and when I tried
to re-open it, I got the following error message:

IDLE's subprocess didn't make a connection. Either IDLE can't start a
subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection.

I rebooted my computer, thinking that would solve the problem, but it
didn't. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Python but got the same message.
It's certainly not the firewall because that wasn't changed in the 15-20
minutes' times during which this happened. I am running Windows 7 with the
latest service pack.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated.
