When launching IDLE, it reports:

"IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't start a 
subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection."

This should report what needs to be opened on the firewall to allow 
the connection, e.g. "Allow UDP/TCP connections to 127.0.0.1 on ports 
FOO and BAR and try again".
