- IDLE displays a new message upon startup: some "personal firewall"
25+
kinds of programs (for example, ZoneAlarm) open a dialog of their
26+
own when any program opens a socket. IDLE does use sockets, talking
27+
on the computer's internal loopback interface. This connection is not
28+
visible on any external interface and no data is sent to or received
29+
from the Internet. So, if you get such a dialog when opening IDLE,
30+
asking whether to let pythonw.exe talk to address 127.0.0.1, say yes,
31+
and rest assured no communication external to your machine is taking
32+
place. If you don't allow it, IDLE won't be able to start.
