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