Hi Jeff,

Getting IDLE to work within wxPython is technically possible, but probably
a little tricky, since it'll involve getting the GUI event loops to
cooperate.

I believe it is doable --- there's code in the Twisted Python project, for
example, that allows the Tkinter event loop to integrate into Twisted's
event loop.  That being said, this might be overkill for what you're
trying to do.

Hmmm... do you necessarily have to have those scripts run through IDLE
then?  What kind of scripts are you trying to run through wxPython?
Would something like the 'commands' module be useful for you?
