IDLE Python error after up upgrade - subprocess didn't make connection

Question

Hi all,

Yesterday running ArcGIS 10.2 I was running IDLE 2.7 shell perfectly !

I upgraded to ArcGIS 10.2.2 and now whenever I try and boot up IDLE I get this error:

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

Anyone experienced this before ???

Anyone have a solution?

I essentially can't run any python script.

I am running windows 7 service pack 1, 64 bit machine.

help ?

(edit - I have also uninstalled ArcGIS and reinstalled)

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Yeah I got around the problem but running the Python 2.7.9 shell with “No Subprocess”.

To do this the target for the python.exe (under properties) is:

C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\pythonw.exe lib\idlelib\idle.py –n

Regards,

Tim

DId you ever find a solution to this? After 10.3 I can't run IDLE either I get the same error, but it worked at 10.2...
