! IDLE
! ----

! - IDLE displays a new message upon startup:  some "personal firewall"
!   kinds of programs (for example, ZoneAlarm) open a dialog of their
!   own when any program opens a socket.  IDLE does use sockets, talking
!   on the computer's internal loopback interface.  This connection is not
!   visible on any external interface and no data is sent to or received
!   from the Internet.  So, if you get such a dialog when opening IDLE,
!   asking whether to let pythonw.exe talk to address 127.0.0.1, say yes,
!   and rest assured no communication external to your machine is taking
!   place.  If you don't allow it, IDLE won't be able to start.
