[Idle-dev] IDLE and Jython

[Guido van Rossum]

I happen to be working on a version of IDLE that forks off a
subprocess to execute the code.  This idea is inspired by previous
work of course (Bruce Sherwood c.s.) but this time I'm trying to do it
"right".

It's not yet ready for prime time, but I believe it would be easy
enough to add Jython support: the UI would be using CPython, but the
user's code would run in Jython.
