If you look at the Wish shell for Tcl, it actually uses two Tcl
interpreters in the one program. This is what we need for the Python IDE:
the IDE executing in one interpreter, and the script in another. This might
allow the use of Tkinter in the second interpreter, if we're lucky.

I must say that I sympathize with another correspondent about the need to
fix things so that we can get IDLE running on MacOS.
