Trying to use Python shell. I did problem set 0 and then tried loading it in Python shell and I got an error message reading: IDLE's subprocesses didn't make make connection. Either IDLE can't start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection. I uninstalled then reinstalled Python and turned off my firewall, neither worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
