Maybe your firewall tells you that IDLE asks for access to the net, but
it's not an online sofware. You can use a different editor, like SPE,
or if you want to start with something simpler you can try
ActivePython, or probably it's even better a normal and very fast txt
editor with a python grammar for colorization, with a macro added to
run the script being edited.
