You tried to run editor code and ran into a uncaught idle-process bug, which 
causes an exit.

pyshell.ModifiedInterpreter.runcode: 760-1
        if self.tkconsole.executing:
            self.interp.restart_subprocess()

The immediate bug is that 'self' *is* the interpreter with the 
restart_subprocess method, so '.interp' needs to be deleted.  An easy fix in 
itself.

Puzzle 1 is that I expect that 'executing' should be true whenever Shell is not 
waiting for a response to '>>>', so that we should be seeing this often.  But 
it is false when running tkinter code, when sleeping, and when waiting for 
input(prompt) response, so I don't know how it was ever true for you.

I don't remember ever seeing this exception. I will look at the code that sets 
and resets it.  Maybe the former is not being called when it should be.

Puzzle 2 is that the subprocess *is* being restarted even with this code being 
(normally) skipped.  Is it ever needed, even in the (unknown) circumstance that 
'executing' is true?  Or would that cause two restarts? This would be a new 
buglet, though preferable to the current exception exit.  The easy fix may not 
be enough.

'executing' and other shell booleans are still set as 0 and 1.  I may update 
these first.
