Bonnie Douglas <bonnie.doug...@biarri.com> added the comment: The only other thing that I've done is change my firewall software. I use Bullguard. I had to use the Custom Security settings for the Firewall, but set it to always allow pythonw.exe and python.exe access to all ports.
A colleague of mine is also running XP and ditched IDLE because it kept crashing. I explained my reconfiguration of the firewall to him yesterday but he hasn't implemented my changes yet so I can't report his success/failure. Notepad++ is a great editor to use with Python; it is Python-aware (and it's free). Another colleague uses it along with "print" in his code for debugging. Finally, our computer scientist recommends using Linux only. Apparently that solves all problems? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6941> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
