hello, after writing ps0 and saving it, i had trouble starting python again, it said that the idle socket was not found, any ideas of why this might have happened?

quoting "The socket error problem with IDLE is most likely caused by security or anti-virus software on your computer. (Another poster to this forum had the same problem.) IDLE uses something called an internal socket connection to connect two processes. Some security software, including the high-security setting of Windows Firewall, sees this as trying to connect to the internet, and blocks it. Rest assured, IDLE is not trying to connect to the internet. You can find out more here, including a couple of different solutions: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-August/400015.html Warren Sande" http://www.manning-sandbox.com/thread.jspa?threadID=35022
