In standard configuration, one process runs IDLE, another runs user 
code, including tkinter code. So there should be no interference. The 
example in the tkinter doc runs from IDLE edit window on my system. The 
revised example in coming releases works even better. There have been 
several IDLE bugs fixed in the last few months, and even more since 2.6 
before that. Upgrade if you can to get fixes, suffer the bugs since 
fixed, or patch your 2.6 installation.
