Python error - IDLE's subprocess didn't ma

问题:

I am new to programming and i decided to learn Python first, so;

I installed Python, latest version 3.4. and I am trying to open Python IDLE(GUI) mode, so when I open I get message "IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't start or personal firewall software is blocking connection.".

My firewall is not problem beacuse I put Python throught it. I also tried to reinstall it and it didnt made diffirence. So please if somenone can help!

Thank you on your time :D

Delete all newely created .py files in the directory with Python. for example random.py, end.py - that was my problem that caused the same notification window

回答2:

It may be a common problem that happens when you have in you current directory a file with same name on one from Python (references : Can't run Python via IDLE from Explorer [2013] - IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection)

It seems it can also happen if you have incorrect environment variables such as HOMEPATH USERPROFILE (references : Issue 14576: IDLE: inconsistent use of HOMEDRIVE, HOMEPATH, and USERPROFILE on Windows)

I've found another related question : Python IDLE subprocess error?

My advice if the answer is not there : google may be your friend ! The 3 clues above come from there :-)

回答3:

Simple...rename your .py file with some name different from any keyword name like 'random.py' which already exists in python package.

Eg. I named one file as "random.py". The same error popped up. I renamed it to "random_demo.py". It worked. The different naming discards the problem of ambiguity between an already existing file and a newly created file with same name.

Just had the same issue. So uninstalled and reinstalled which fixed it and took 10 minutes. The key with Windows machines is delete the old directory (C:\Python27\ because windows does seem to actually delete things) and when reinstalling specify a new directory (C:\Python279\ or whatever you choose to call it).

I am using Win 10 with Python 2.7.9.

回答5:

I fixed it, I needed to run IDLE with admin privileges. (I am using Windows 7 x64). Hope this helps.

回答6:

The fix is here .

Open task manager, kill pythonw.exe, if you find 2 instances or more. Should work after that.

回答7:

For me: The drive pointed to by HOMEDRIVE was not writeable. I checked this by running idle the hard way, explicitly using python.exe rather than pythonw.exe:

C:\coding\xyz>"C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\..\..\python.exe"  
"C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw"

 Warning: unable to create user config directory
P:\.idlerc
 Check path and permissions.
 Exiting!

回答8:

I had a similar problem with a file called "test.py" and Python 2.7.9 - renaming the file to something else solved my issue. After checking, I noticed that there is a file with the same name under the Python27\Lib folder.

Seems to be a bug in IDLE.

回答9:

Go to C:/Users/[your user]/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python35-32 and delete or rename every *.py file in this directory which is named after a certain method, function, module or library. Then run IDLE. Should work.

Hope I could help
