P.S. The reason "Edit with IDLE" opens IDLE without a subprocess is that in the current version there can only be one instance of IDLE with a subprocess. I have submitted a patch to workaround this, and which allows multiple version of IDLE to run in parallel, each with a subprocess of its own. The patch must be more thoroughly tested and tweaked, but IMO is worth giving a try.
Is that really necessary? I've added 'editor with IDLE' functionality to IDLE on OSX and that just opens all files you open in the same copy of IDLE. IMHO that is more useful that starting several copies of IDLE when you open multiple files.
The disadvantage is that you can have only one shell window open. Your patch could be used to fix that (given your description of the patch, I haven't looked at the actual patch).
