IDLE won't start on Mac OSX

Fri Jul 16 00:49:27 EDT 2010

Hello, 
My name is Dylan. I am new to this list and am just getting started with Python 
and programming in general (although I have some experience with general UNIX 
wankery).
I am trying to fire up Python ver. 2.7 with IDLE (I am using Mac OSX 10.6.3), 
but it will not start, citing the following error message:
>>> IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't start subprocess or 
>>>personal firewall software is blocking the connection.

I tried disabling my firewall and restarting but unfortunately I still get the 
same message.
I executed Python via the command line and it seemed to work just fine. Can 
someone help me??
Thanks,
Dylan
