It appears that any attempt to spawn processes using the new multiprocessing module in Python 2.6 will instead open up a new empty file in an IDLE window, *if* running without a subprocess. I don't particularly *want* to run without a subprocess, but the alternative on Windows is pretty bad: you can only have one instance of IDLE and trying to open a new one will sit waiting for ages before complaining that it can't connect to the subprocess. Is it possible to get this to work without a subprocess, and if not, what will it take to get the subprocess working properly on Windows? I believe a patch was written some time ago to do this, but it never made it in. Was it too much of a hack? Is there a better way to do this?
http://bugs.python.org/issue1529142 I'd like to help, but I'm not sure how to get started in IDLE development. Is there a guide somewhere? I looked at http://www.python.org/idle/ but it's completely empty. _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list IDLE-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
