[Idle-dev] Re: [Tutor] How to interrupt in IDLE (fwd)

[Bruce Sherwood]

I should mention that the idle-fork version of IDLE (an early version of 
which is distributed with VPython -- see http://vpython.org) has no problem 
dealing with this infinite loop:

	while 1:
		pass

When you run this program, a separate process is created, and all that is 
required to kill that process is to close the print output window. (This is 
in the situation when you use IDLE to edit the program in a file and then 
run the program, not when you're operating in the interpreter mode.)
