[Edu-sig] Problem with Python in Windows

[Medina, Patricia]

We are having a problem running python 3.x with windows 7 also. It says it can't (no processor or something), then it can. Seems like python and windows don't play well together.

Subject: [Edu-sig] Problem with Python in Windows

Yesterday I was running the Windows version of the Python 2.7.3 shell with IDLE as my editor. I saved a file and ran it and got some error message which unfortunately I don't remember. I then closed Python and when I tried to re-open it, I got the following error message:
IDLE's subprocess didn't make a connection. Either IDLE can't start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection.
I rebooted my computer, thinking that would solve the problem, but it didn't. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Python but got the same message. It's certainly not the firewall because that wasn't changed in the 15-20 minutes' times during which this happened. I am running Windows 7 with the latest service pack.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated.
