No, but since IDLE itself is written in Python, it use a really weird way to communicate with the python process.

The safe way if you can't configure firewall is to open IDLE without subprocess. > On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 8:21 AM, David Holland > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: (snip) > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > > > > > > > -- > To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being > called > gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every > weakness, > every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and > exaltation, but stupidity hasn't. - Primo Levi > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: > <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/attachments/20081001/1dc0aa03/attachment.htm> > > ------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
