You are right. Whenever I try to open IDLE, my zone firewall tells me pythonw.exe is trying to access the trusted zone. Whenever I try to open new IDLE window I get the following message: "IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection.Either IDLE can't start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection." I will be grateful if you kindly suggest a way out, then, I won't have to install another editor. Regards. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
