​Apparently not.  It is straightforward to spawn a new console, but on
Windows at least the second console probably can't be made to return useful
output in a timely way, if at all.

I'll try the socket server way next. If anyone has other ideas I would like
to hear them.

*Note*: at one time I had hopes that Leo's background manager in
leoBackground.py might have something to offer.  But no, that runs separate
processes in Leo's own console.

So this is a non-trivial project. Imo, this project is even more
interesting, and potentially more valuable, than it seemed earlier today.
