IDLE question

[Claudio Grondi]

Here a correction of the code snippet:

       console.text.mark_gravity("restart", "left")
        # (-Patch)
        # making additional modules available in IDLE directly after
re-start of it:
        self.runsource("import os; from path import path")
        time.sleep(0.1)
        # (Patch-)
        console.showprompt()

        # restart subprocess debugger

I have no slightest idea why does it make a difference.
What would make much more sense for me is to wait until
  self.tkconsole.executing
is False
but this resulted in an endless loop ...
