| The Python 2.3.3 windows installer sets a file association for .py files - 'edit with IDLE'. It sets this up to launch IDLE with the command line '-n' which is *without* a subprocess. I set up a new file association to launch IDLE with subprocess enabled. If IDLE ever attempts to open a second shell window with subprocess it hangs and I have to kill the process. Is this a known limitation or a bug (?) - if the latter why does the installer default to using the -n flag. I asked on comp.lang.python and surprisingly got no answer - perhaps the time of year has something to do with it. :-) My prefferred email address for contact is fuzzyman AT atlantibots DOT org DOT uk | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=149084 This is a known limitation. Currently only one subprocess may exist because only one port is used. I plan to expand this in the future. Recommend you stay with the default binding. This duplicates IDLEfork Patch 661363. Closing as dup. |
