Summary: IDLE doesn't load - apparently without firewall problems

Initial Comment:
I've installed Python in Windows XP, SP2. When I ran
IDLE for the first times, it worked ok. But then I
redefined some shorcuts (history-previous,
history-next, and expand-word). This also worked ok,
but there was a problem I wasn't expecting: I changed
the history-previous to the short-cut <Ctrl> + P, and
when I use it for the first time it printed the content
of the window... I forgot that this shorcut was already
in use...

Then came the real problem. I went to redefine the
history-previous to another key set, but each time I
clicked for "oK" for the new keys, the shell wrote some
errors in red (-/+ 7/8 lines). I did that a few times
until I closed IDLE and tried to restarted it again.
Then it stop working.

The only thing it does now is to show the hourglass
logo in the mouse pointer for a few seconds and then it
does not do anything else.

I've installed Python in its default path
(C:\Python25), and tried to switch off all the
firewalls I remembered (Windows Firewall and disabled
McAfee Virus Scan). None of that worked. I tried
several times to reinstall the software, but that
didn't work either.

I even tried to install a previous version of Python
(v2.4.3), but it had exactly the same problem.

I haven't found any similar problem on the web.

Thanks,
Dani

I am having the same problem.  When I first installed it, 
it ran okay.  Now everytime I go back to run it, the 
hourglass on my mouse shows up for a few seconds and then 
nothing.  At first I had v2.4.3 because that's what we're 
using in my class, but I tried v2.5(final) thinking it 
would help, but it didn't, so I reinstalled v2.4.3.   I 
noticed that with my task manager in view, when I click 
the IDLE program my processes jump up one number for a few 
seconds also, then goes back.  So apparently it's running 
but then ending before it loads up?  I tried messing with 
my firewall and stuff also, with no success, so I'm in the 
same boat as you.
