Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: You need to specify os (with version) *nix? There have been issues like this before, for earlier Python version, at least for Windows XP, which have been fixed, at least for Windows. I think last patch (a year ago? before 3.2 I think) switched to using subprocess instead of older methods. If I kill Idle with task manager, the other, background pythonw process dies in under half a second. (If background process dies, IDLE restarts.)
