I have windows xp operating system at my home with python 2.5 and same operating system with python 2.4 at my computer lab. While working in python IDLE suddenly this error message --socket error:connection refused-- pops up and then python IDLE does not work at all.To make it work again i have to reinstall it.
Is there any other solution to this problem. Please let me know.

reinstall! Wow. I've gotten that message before, but rebooting is the most extreme solution to date for me.
It may be the case that your firewall is blocking connections to IP address 127.0.0.1, the internal loopback that Python uses.
If so, you can go into Symantec/Norton/McCaffee/whatever and enable Python on that address.
Hope that helps,
Jeff

Ive had that happen to me. What you can do is go to your task manager and under "processes" close all python software then re-open.
I had to reinstall twice before I figured that out.

I am not finding any place in symantec antivirus to put that ip address.
Although i disabled it all together, and it worked.
But still want to do that u said earlier.
waiting for answer, thanks!

I have had this problem with version 2.5, 2.6, and 3.0. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times but IDLE is still not working. The error popup reads "Socket Error: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network." IDLE does not work with the firewall turned off. Any suggestions?
