I sometimes get this message when one of my programs fails to shutdown properly. I program almost exclusively in Windows, so I open Task Manager and kill all instance of Python.exe to fix this problem. I have seen ZoneAlarm flag IDLE when I first installed Python, so if you upgraded it recently, the firewall may be an issue. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
