Can't run Python via IDLE from Explorer [2013] - IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection -


resolved april 15, 2013. in windows 7 (64bit) windows explorer when right clicked python file , selected "edit idle" editor opens when run (or f5) python 3.3.1 program, fails "idle's subprocess didn't make connection. either idle can't start subprocess or personal firewall software blocking connection." error message. other methods of starting idle running python 3.3.1 programs worked perfectly. "send to" method worked unacceptably clunky. i've spend 4 days (so far) researching , trying various things including reinstalling python many times. , no it's not firewall blocking it. i've tried totally turning firewall off , had no effect.

here's important clue: in beginning installed , configured python 3.3 64 bit , everything worked including running "edit idle" when needed library available in python 2 installed python 2.7.4 , point on stated problem began. @ 1 point removed traces of both versions , reinstalled python 3.3.1 64 bit. problem remained.

then tried have both 32 bit versions installed still no luck. @ point in muddling around lost option "edit idle" , spent day trying including editing in regedit. no luck there either. reinstalled python 3.3.1 still no "edit idle" uninstalled versions of python , removed python references environment variables path , pythonpath. deleted python related keys in windows registry, deleted c:\python33 directory uninstall didn't bother delete. overkill, of course, restarted windows , installed python 3.3.1 64 bit version again , thankfully option 'edit idle' back. momentarily happy, opened windows explorer, right clicked on python program, selected 'edit idle' selected run (eyes closed) , guessed it, same original error message "idle's subprocess didn't make connection. either idle can't start subprocess or personal firewall software blocking connection."

i stuck on issue , need help. pretty sure can see , not happy camper. , top off, guess don't understand stackoverflow yet, have had plea in various versions 5 days , not 1 response anyone. believe me i've looked @ every thing in stackoverflow plus other sites , can't see answer. seems have answer own question , post it, trouble is, far can't.

anyway, listening. yes i'm pretty new python i've been programming , overcoming problems many years (too many perhaps). anyone? not having familiar python makes difficult, how can in touch expert in python quick phone conversation?

i had same problem today. found stack overflow post had tkinter.py file in same directory python, , fixed removing tkinter.py file. when looked in python directory, realized had created script called random.py , put there. suspect conflicted normal random module in python. when removed file, python started working again.

so suggest in main python directory , see if there .py files move different places.
