Hmm, you are right: background process dies. But I'm pretty sure when I worked on IDLE bugs three weeks ago sometimes that process remained to live forever. Aahh. At least sending SIGTERM (kill -9) to foreground IDLE process doesn't delete background. Also the same if foreground hangs by some error in code and should be killed from console. <Ctrl-C> doesn't help in this particular case, <Ctrl+\> (SIGQUIT) terminates foreground but background lives forever. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14440> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
