[issue39724] IDLE threading + stdout/stdin observed blocking behavior

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

It sounds like either an old implementation restriction or an old misguided attempt at keeping the IDLE console clean. I’m with Tal, let’s fix it and make it more like regular Python. Thanks John for taking the time to report this so clearly.
