Re: [Visualpython-users] idlefork

[Bruce S. <bas...@un...>]

With hundreds of student users and many others including myself I've not
seen the problem you report, at least using the idlefork version distributed
with VPython. Sounds idiosyncratic to your installation, somehow. No clue
what the problem could be.

The very severe problems you describe in the recent alpha distribution of
idlefork are being worked on intensely.
