Hi

After trying to install another IDE for python (Eric4.3.8 and sciTE201)
I'm not able to launch IDLE directly anymore. (I not sure if this is
really relevant)

I can right click on the .py files and choose "edit with IDLE" and
everything works fine.

Also, I can run python under cmd without any problem.

But when I try to open IDLE using start menu icon, this error massage
appears:

Subprocess Startup Error
IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. either idle can't start a
subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection.

I tried to disable my anti-virus and windows firewall (I don't use any
other firewalls), but the problem still exists.

I uninstalled python 2.6.2 and then installed python 3.1.1. IDLE worked
fine but I had a little problem with the new syntax in python 3 so I
installed python 2.6.4 and guess what, the same error message again!

When I try to run IDLE from cmd this error message is displayed:

hi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python26\lib\idlelib\run.py", line 13, in <module>
    import RemoteDebugger
  File "C:\Python26\lib\idlelib\RemoteDebugger.py", line 24, in <module>
    import rpc
  File "C:\Python26\lib\idlelib\rpc.py", line 120, in <module>
    request_queue = Queue.Queue(0)
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

I'm using windows vista x64
I've tried restarting my computer and manually deleting files but didn't
help.

Do you have some Queue.py in your PYTHONPATH, before the standard one?
What do you get when starting python from cmd:
import Queue
print Queue
(It should be <module 'Queue' from 'C:\Python26\lib\Queue.pyc'>)

{Solved}
Thanks for following up Amaury
But my problem was solved yesterday.
There was a few programs in the main python directory which I didn't
want to delete, so I moved them to another directory and manually
deleted C:\Python26 and then restarted my computer. After installing
python again, the problem was solved.
Thanks again
