See Subject msg from Python 2.5 Win XP. It is preceded by a "Socket
Error". It happened while I had a simple program displayed, and I
wanted to see the shell. The msg occurred when I pressed Shell on Run
from the menu. I played around for awhile, but got nowhere. Same msg.
I did remove my McAfee firewall protection, and it worked once, but
reverted to not working.
I rebooted and the first time I could use Shell, it succeeded. After
that it failed. Comments? Geeze! Mcaffe turned on the firewall again
after the reboot.
All seems well now. Nope. McAfee turned the firewall back on. It
decided to warn me it was off, but now has allowed me to ignore the
fact it is "no longer protecting me". I'll just let Win firewall do
that, thank you.
Nope it's back. I'll just stop here and let anyone who wants to just
chime in. If I get it to stop, I'll be back.
I recall vaguely some similar problem caused by a program attempting to
connect to localhost, and the solution then was to edit the hosts file
(don't ask me for details, but perhaps that'll help you search: that
problem had entirely to do with Windows' very over-zealous "security"
measures).

As it turns out, I can "sneak" around it, so I'm putting it aside.
