[issue1529142] Allowing multiple instances of IDLE with sub-processes

[Weeble]

Weeble <clockworksaint at gmail.com> added the comment:

Is this ever likely to make it into IDLE? Running without a subprocess 
in Windows appears to interact badly with the multiprocessing library 
(attempting to spawn a process just creates a new IDLE window). I 
couldn't figure out how to apply the patch on Windows - I couldn't tell 
if the errors were because I was using the patch program wrong or 
because the file is different now. Nevertheless, I made the changes 
manually and they seemed to work. What needs to happen for this issue to 
be fixed, whether by this patch or another solution?
