Looking for an interpreter that does not request internet access

[James Alan Farrell]

Hello,
I recently installed new anti-virus software and was surprised the
next time I brought up IDLE, that it was accessing the internet.

I dislike software accessing the internet without telling me about it,
especially because of my slow dial up connection (there is no option
where I live), but also because I feel it unsafe.

Can anyone recommend an interpreter that does not access the internet
when it starts (or when it is running, unless I specifically write a
program that causes it to do so, so as a browser)?
