... A very restricted change to the code would be add the following to the banner printed at the top of the shell when it starts (the socket connection isn't made until the shell window opens):
*************************************************************** Personal firewall software may warn about the connection IDLE makes to its subprocess using this computer's internal loopback interface. This connection is not visible on any external interface and no data is sent to or received from the Internet. *************************************************************** This involves an addition to PyShell.py:PyShell.begin(), line 873. In addition, the .../idlelib/README.txt would be updated with the same message w/o the asterisks. I think that's a great idea, and is all we really need for 2.3 final. Barry is the release manager now, so the final call is his, but I'm +1 on it.
Submitted as Patch 778286, assigned to Barry.
