when using run module or python shell on the run menu in the GUI i get
"socket error, connection refused".

Soory, I don't know what wpython is

when using run module or python shell on the run menu in the GUI i get
"socket error, connection refused".

Try to detect what changed on your system between "before" and "now".

What's wpython?

get "socket error, connection refused".

There's no process listening for the port you try to connect to, so
the target host refuses.

and i cant find where to start the shell directly.

Well, for me, ALT-F2 xterm[Enter] works.

think i had an exe before but cant seem to find it now.

You mean the Python interpreter? It's probably located on your
system root in a directory called python<version>. But I'd rather
use IDLE.

If by "GUI" you mean IDLE, make sure you haven't changed any
firewall settings.

Perhaps any other running process has opened the port that IDLE uses to
communicate with the running program. Or you have IDLE already running.
See if you have python.exe/pythonw.exe processes running.
Or go to Help, IDLE Help, and read the section "Running without a
subprocess"
