Get an error message when launching Idle to use python? What to do?

[Brian Shinners]

Hi,
I recently had Python installed on a Mac and when try to launch Idle to start writing programs, I am getting an error message that reads..

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

Thanks,
Brian

Configure your firewall to allow Python access permission.
