Running without a subprocess
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By default, Idle executes user code in a separate subprocess via a socket,
which uses the internal loopback interface. This connection is not
externally visible and no data is sent to or received from the Internet.
If firewall software complains anyway, you can ignore it.
If the attempt to make the socket connection fails, Idle will notify you.
Such failures are sometimes transient, but if persistent, the problem
may be either a firewall blocking the connecton or misconfiguration of
a particular system. Until the problem is fixed, one can run Idle with
the -n command line switch.
If IDLE is started with the -n command line switch it will run in a
single process and will not create the subprocess which runs the RPC
Python execution server. This can be useful if Python cannot create
