Bonnie Douglas <bonnie.doug...@biarri.com> added the comment: I too seem to have experienced this same problem. I am running Windows Vista. After choosing to shut down my computer and restart without cleanly shutting down IDLE I got a "socket error" - socket error:connection refused when I next tried to launch IDLE. After pressing OK I got another message: "IDLE's subprocess didn't make a connection. Either IDLE can't start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection"
After a search through the web I simply ran the python-6.2.3.msi file again and chose to "repair" Python 2.6.3 - this has solved the problem. Hope this helps. ---------- nosy: +bdouglasoz status: pending -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6941> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
