I googled in vain for instances where parts of idlelib are re-used in

tkinter window and also probably run code in a subprocess.
Are there any examples around that do these sorts of things?
turtledemo reuses IDLE's colorizer and read-only textviews. I have seen
occasional hints on stackoverflow of other such uses.
One barrier to reuse is that the parts are highly interconnected, with
numerous import loops. (Changing the form of some imports from 'import
x' to 'from x import y' can make IDLE startup fail.) Some objects, like
EditorWindow, are too monolithic. You cannot put a toplevel inside
another toplevel.
Yes, you can. There are two possiblities, the one is converting the
toplevel into a frame with wm_forget(), after which you can simply pack
it into another frame. The second one is configuring a frame as a
container, which allows to even embed a window from a foreign
application. I'm not sure this works on all platforms, though.
