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. |
