I looked through the logs created by Zonealarm and found that most references
were for the local host 127.0.0.1:7454 so this would appear to be of no
consequence for security. Not having really been aware of Python's manner of
communicating I find this behaviour unusual but in retrospect it does make
sense. Obviously Zonealarm is behaving in a highly suspicious nature but with
the 50+ probes of my system in the last 3 months I am glad to have it installed
even if it causes the occasional query of legitimate behaviour. Thanks to those
who responded promptly for pointing me in the right direction.
