Tkinter and IDE's

[Mats Wichmann]

:The full solution is to find an IDE that executes programs in a separate
:process.  I couldn't tell you offhand which IDEs do this, but neither IDLE nor
:PythonWin do, and it's fairly likely that you would need to use a commercial IDE
:for this (though you may find one that's free for open-source development).

The experimental IDLE, hosted on SourceForge as the Idlefork project,
can do this.
