[issue14576] IDLE cannot connect to subprocess - New solution

[Andrew Svetlov]

Andrew Svetlov <andrew.svetlov at gmail.com> added the comment:

I guess IdleConf should to have flag like 'writable'.
If user environment points to invalid location (or there are no write access) this flag should be set.
It flag can affect IDLE configuration dialog: user should be notified what him changes will not be permanently saved.
Subprocess can check that flag as well if need.

BTW, there are related issue8231.
