No - scene.exit was fixed.  We believe that having idle exit after the
vpython program exited was an artifact of the way that the user starts
up idle.  See Bruce's mesg "Re: [Visualpython-users] Re: horror story"

VPython (or any other program, for that matter) cannot ever kill the
calling process by accident.  ipython is choosing to exit after the
VPython script is done.
