Is it possible to run more than one python script at the same time?   I try to start a second instance of IDLE, however I get an error message: 

"Socket Error:  No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."    and then  "IDLEs subprocess didn't make a connection...."

Thanks
I have ended up running python scripts in a CMD shell, while editing others in IDLE.   There's probably a better way, but this works.
