Hi Daniel, I believe it's port 8833, at least according to the source code in: http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py One of the error methods has the content: ####################################################################### def display_port_binding_error(self): tkMessageBox.showerror( "Port Binding Error", "IDLE can't bind TCP/IP port 8833, which is necessary to " "communicate with its Python execution server. Either " "no networking is installed on this computer or another " "process (another IDLE?) is using the port. Run IDLE with the -n " "command line switch to start without a subprocess and refer to " "Help/IDLE Help 'Running without a subprocess' for further " "details.", ######################################################################## Hope this helps! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
