Almost not, see below.

By default, Idle runs user code in a separate process from the Idle 
process itself, and has for several years. There is a command line 
option to revert to the old way (user code in the same process). Some of 
us would like to remove that option (and simplify the remaining code a 
bit). This option is kept mainly because connecting to the separate 
process via sockets sometimes fails on some systems.
