[Edu-sig] Problem with Python in Windows

[Richard Enbody]

I've got a class of 270 students running Python 3.x in a Windows lab (22 
machines) with essentially all students running their own copies on a 
variety of laptops -- mostly windows but many macs.

The firewall is a good suggestion, but I haven't seen this problem.
