   IDLE now executes code in a separate process. To communicate between
   the main process and executing processes, IDLE opens a socket to
   127.0.0.1 (the local machine). Some firewalls running on Windows
   machines interfere with this and can cause either silent failures or
   erroneous popup windows from the firewall. This problem only occurs if you
   run a firewall on the same machine as IDLE.
