To be clear, the proposal for Idle would be to still use the RPC protocol, but run it over a pipe instead of a socket, right?

The was and is the current proposal, assuming that it is the easiest thing to do that would work. While responding to Victor, it occurred to me as a speculative idea that once pipes were working, it might be possible to implement the protocol as class methods, and let user code go directly to the interpreter. I would ask what you thought before seriously working on the idea.
