You can also reach it via [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also #python on IRC (freenode.net) are good ways of asking for help for questions like these that aren't really bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2007-06-06 23:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Originator: NO It looks like you can only change the port by changing code. (idlelib\PyShell.py) The port it uses is 8833. Try starting IDLE without a subprocess (and port IIRC): python.exe idle.py -n (ie, add -n option to the command line. You could probably find the answer by googling for something like "python idle startup port". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kishore (kishore_durai) Date: 2007-06-06 22:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1810028 Originator: YES Hi..i checked my firewall also..tried opening it by disabling the firewall..Doesnt seem to help.How to let IDLE access thge port.Can someone give me more details.

THanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2007-06-06 22:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Originator: NO Do you have any sort of firewall/anti-virus software installed? That can conflict with IDLE because it tries to open a port. You can try going to the software and allowing IDLE to access this port. You can also try to open a terminal window and start IDLE manually and see if that works or if that produces an error message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1732160&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
