I have to backtrack on my optimistic pronouncement. I know why I'm getting "address already in use" error messages, but I don't know how to avoid getting them. The problem is that I'm working with both IDLE and my Terminal at the same time. I have to close out of IDLE in some decisive way so that the connection with the port is cut. Otherwise I will get the error message. At first, just restarting the shell in IDLE worked. Then I actually had to close the app (which didn't seem like a flexible option to me). Now, even quitting out of IDLE doesn't work. So my revised question is: How do I work with both apps together so these error messages don't keep recurring?
