Just to nail this issue down: try turning ZoneAlarm off, just for a
moment, and then start up IDLE. (You can always turn ZoneAlarm back on
after this experiment.) If you don't see any problems with IDLE, then
it's almost certainly a ZoneAlarm vs. IDLE confrontation, and we can focus
on that.
Good luck to you!
Turned off Zone Alarm and closed down IDLE on opening IDLE - I got the socket error message and the other error message - so not zone alarm (it seems)
- closing down IDLE and pressing ctrl alt and del I notice that 3 copies of pythonw are in memory
I closed these down and IDLE is working again
Hi,
for what it's worth, I've never had issues with Firefox and IDLE when running Zone Alarm. (Currently running ZoneAlarm version:5.5.062.004)
But the multiple copies of pythonw seems key, and also the sort of thing that better Python minds than most seem to accept they have to live with too: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2005-January/004365.html>

PS - had a look at Crimson Editor and PSpad - very good but not quite for me
I rather like IDLE - it is specific - focussed
I've been pretty happy using IDLE supplemented by SciTe when wanting a better editor than that provided by IDLE.
Best,
