It was the same problem here. I had updated to 10.1.0, but IDLE was still pointing at 9.6.4. I manually deleted all of the old packages and re-installed and all is well with the world again.
Thanks @tfdahlin, much appreciated.

Yep works great for me now! Forgot to check which version I had before updating, but upgrading to 10.1.0 fixed the issue. Also this works just fine over VPN as well.

Thanks so much @tfdahlin
