Pycharm python console socket.gaierror

I'm running Pycharm 4.5.3 on OS X Yosemite (10.10.3). I created a simple python program, and tried opening the python console, and got this stack trace error:

/usr/bin/python -u /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py 59286 59287

Couldn't connect to console process.

A similar question was raised here on stack overflow, but the root of the error was the string localhost passed in with white spaces, which is not the case here (host has been assigned to 'localhost'). Does anyone have any idea? This isn't really a big deal, seeing as I can use python command line in terminal, but I'm curious if this is a bug within Pycharm.

Edit: here's the source code to the Pycharm script.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import pydevconsole
    sys.stdin = pydevconsole.BaseStdIn()
    port, client_port = sys.argv[1:3]
    import pydev_localhost

    if int(port) == 0 and int(client_port) == 0:
        (h, p) = pydev_localhost.get_socket_name()

        client_port = p

    pydevconsole.StartServer(pydev_localhost.get_localhost(), int(port), int(client_port))
